The number of real estate agents that you interview will depend on the types of questions you ask and the information you gain from them. Personality is also very important when chosing an agent. You need someone you feel comfortable with and that you can work with. You’re choosing an agent to perform a vital duty, and that person should be trustworthy, reliable and personable. They should also have the expertise to bring to get you the best possible outcome.

By completing the online form and providing as much information you can, the team will shortlist 3 specialist real estate agents that will suit you needs. It is still very important for you to ask these agents the question that you need to know.

Questions to Ask During an Interview:

How long have you been an agent?

When you want to find real estate agents, you want an agent with a few years of experience, not someone who printed their business cards last week.

Are you both qualified and licenced and in which states?

Depending on where you are looking to purchase or sell your property is it important that the Real Estate Agent is licenced in that state as different Australian laws apply in different states when it comes to contracts.

How many properties did you sell in the last 6 months?

This is important because you want an agent who has successfully completed more than a few sales.

What are your personal strengths as a Melbourne/Sydney etc. property agent?

While this may sound like the cliche question an employer asks a job candidate; it will give you an idea of how the agent is able to sell himself. That should tell you how aggressively they’ll work towards selling your home.

How much is my property worth?

You’ll want to know the amount they believe the property is worth, and how they come to that price. Along with that question, you’ll want to know how they’ll market your property to get the best possible value of the property.

At the end of the interview, you can ask the agent what you might have missed during your questions. You’ll want to see how helpful they are as well as how comfortable they are with their knowledge and experience.
