SELECT AN AGENT AND PRICE

The most effective way to get TOP DOLLAR for your home is with the help of a professional, licensed Realtor like Robert and Beverly Meaux.

2.1 What To Look For In An Agent
Here are a few factors to keep in mind when looking for the right listing agent:

  1. Experience and Expertise. You want a full-time agent who is familiar with the Suburban Essex area. Does she employ a diverse range of marketing and advertising strategies?  How tech-savvy is she? Does she have a Website? Does she have top internet exposure capability for your home? This is where most buyers begin their shopping. This is where you want to be.  
  2. Ability vs Commission. Interview two or three agents and make an apple-to-apple comparison on what they offer and can deliver, not on who can go the lowest on commission. It's about the highest price you receive and how well your real estate agent can keep the transaction on track until the day of closing. It's about the capability of your agent to guide you through all aspects of your transaction.
  3. Availability and Commitment. Your agent should be capable of prompt and decisive action during the course of selling your home. Does he make it a point to keep in touch with you constantly? Can he easily be contacted in case of emergencies or even for the simplest questions?
  4. Rapport. Does he take the time to listen to your goals and help you clarify your needs? Can he understand your unique situation and be genuinely concerned about the outcome of the process? Your listing agent will be your guide, partner, and advocate in this crucial decision, so it's important to find someone you trust.

 

Robert and Beverly Meaux does all of this and more.

2.2 What is Your Home Worth?
Without a professional agent, most independent home sellers tend to overestimate the value of their home. You can avoid this pitfall by consulting with an experienced Realtor listing agent like Bob and Bev. They know how the Suburban Essex area real estate market works, and, being well acquainted with the different types of property in the area, they can deliver the most accurate estimate on the value of your home.
