Figure out your agent’s sell rate

Finding a real estate agent with experience selling homes in your market will help ensure correct pricing.That might sound obvious but if you real estate isn’t experience in selling homes you are in for a hard time especially in these tough times.  So don’t be afraid and ask all the hard questions.  Treat them as potential candidates for a job and ask them everything you need to know before you hire them.  Ask your real estate agents, how long it usually takes for them to sell a house.  It’s best to choose an agent whose properties sell in an average of three or four months, a time frame that indicates the agent understands how to price the market.  If they take on average six months or longer to sell a home that is too long.  Its especially too long if you know you can’t wait more than a few months.  You can’t expect them to sell your home in two months if on average they take six months or longer.
