Once you’ve found an agent you’re considering, it’s important to have a candid conversation about how they plan to help you achieve your goals. Ask them how they determine your home’s value and what data supports their pricing strategy. Discuss their marketing approach, how they plan to get your home in front of the right buyers, both locally and beyond, especially if you’re in a military area with out-of-town demand. You’ll also want to understand their timeline for the sale, what kind of buyers they attract, and whether those buyers are pre-approved. If you’re in a hurry or want to avoid the traditional market route altogether, ask if they offer programs like cash offers or guaranteed sale options. The goal is to get a clear sense of how they plan to deliver the outcome you want, on your timeline, and with the least amount of stress.
