Do Your Due Diligence:

Check Online Reviews How Many Transactions have they done Questions you must ask any realtor before you hire them. So before you even meet a realtor, you need to go online and check out their reviews. This will give you a sense of their credibility and social proof. Do they have a lot of reviews or do they have a few reviews? Are they good? Are they bad? Is this the personality? Is this the right fit for you? The second thing you need to consider when you do meet with the realtor is to find out how many transactions have they transacted in the last one year. Are they an active realtor selling 50, 100 homes a year? Or are they a part-time agent selling one or two homes? There are approximately 100,000 homes that transact in a year in the GTA. And there are approximately 50,000 realtors. So the average realtor sells two homes. Is this the type of realtor you want to work with? When you're hiring a realtor, it's important to do your due diligence and ask the right questions. Here are a few things to keep in mind: First, check online reviews. See what others have said about their experience with the realtor you're considering. Next, ask about the realtor's transactions. How many homes have they sold? What is their success rate? Finally, ask about due diligence. What does the realtor do to ensure that all the paperwork is in order and that the home is in good condition? By asking these questions, you can get a better sense of whether or not the realtor is a good fit for you.
