SELLER SERIES: How to Make That NEXT Big Decision

In this video, I am going to show you some resources and ways to help make that second big decision you have to make after the first big decision, which was selling your house. My name is Jenn Baer, I'm a real estate agent in New Hampshire. And that second big decision is, "Are you going to use a real estate agent or go for sale by owner or FSBO?"

BUT WAIT! This is not a video where I'm going to go over the pros and cons and why you should use a REALTOR® or why you shouldn't go for sale by owner. There are already those videos out there. There's already those articles. And that's the first thing you should do. Go do your research. Go through those, definitely pay attention to statistics of who starts and who finishes, for sale by owner, and why they might not have completed. So you can make sure you avoid some of the mistakes that they make.

The second thing, which I don't know many people do, because it does take time. It doesn't cost you anything but you should interview two to three real estate agents. And what I have to provide for you today is a questionnaire. So you don't have to worry about the questions. So you'll have a questionnaire, go ahead and call up real estate agents, we really want to establish relationships with you so we don't charge for initial consultations. We'll meet with you, you can ask questions, get an idea of what we're going to do for you.

Now, if you do those two things, and you come out of the process and you still want to do for sale by owner, you will now have a really clear idea as to what a real estate agent does, and that's what you're going to have to do instead. But if you come out, and you decide that you do want to use a real estate agent, that's because one of them has offered you something of value that you didn't even know you needed. So it's going to be a win either way.

Follow this link Seller Interview Questions to Ask Real Estate Agents to get that downloadable questionnaire so you don't have to worry about the questions. You can just go ahead and contact some real estate agents, meet with them, hopefully over coffee, that's my favorite way to do it. Outside safely, of course.

If there's anything else that I can help you with, I'm going to plan on doing a sellers series this week. More tips, advice and resources to help sellers. Until then, I will have you waltzing into your new home or swinging into sold. Take care!
