Avoid These 4 Mistakes When Choosing a Realtor in Alhambra, CA

Are you considering choosing a realtor in Alhambra but don’t know where to start? Having a great realtor makes all the difference but choosing one can be difficult if you don’t know what you are looking for. Here we show you the right way – and the wrong way – to go about choosing a realtor in Alhambra. 

Choosing a Realtor in Alhambra Don’ts

  1. Don’t choose the realtor who promises you the highest sale price or the most amount of money
  2. Don’t choose the realtor who promises to save you money by reducing their commission rate
  3. Don’t choose a realtor based on personality
  4. Don’t choose a realtor who works solo

Let’s also break down each one of these don’ts to show you the right way to choose a realtor. 

Don’t Accept Promises for Big (Unrealistic) Profits

When a realtor tells you that you can sell your home for much more than the market value, this should be a big warning sign. Overinflating the price of your home will result in fewer homebuyers being interested because they can get a comparable house in the same area for less. With a lack of attention from potential homebuyers, you will have to reduce the price of your home possibly even below market value to start to generate interest. Not only will this cost you thousands, but it will also cause your home to linger on the market while accurately priced houses sell much faster.

A Lower Commission Rate Often Means Skimping on Services

Lower realtor commissions do not translate into netting more for your home. Real Estate consultant Bernice Ross calls this the “Big Lie” in Real Estate. The truth is that a lower commission rate comes with a reduction in services. The only way your home will sell fast and for top dollar is from maximum exposure to the marketplace. That can only happen with a full-service realtor.

Don’t Let the Realtor’s Other Qualities Woo You

When choosing a realtor, you should be concerned with their performance and a proven track record of success. You should not pick a realtor because they have an impressive office or “seem nice”. These qualities will not result in you getting more money for your home or for your home to sell any faster. Picking an agent based on superficial qualities could end up costing you thousands because they are unqualified to sell your home.

A One-Person “Team” Limits Your Selling Potential

Many home sellers erroneously think that a realtor who works solo will give them better, more personal, service. The truth is that an agent that works solo is often overwhelmed with the various aspects of real estate transactions for multiple people. This leads to careless mistakes that could cost you the sale of your home.
