Estate Agent In Ibiza : Evaluating A Real Estate Agent

Step 1.

Invite local real estate agents to visit your home and give you a listing presentation, which typically includes: the reasons you should join their estate agency, their duties to you as your estae agent and helpful information about pricing and selling your home.

Step 2.

As you meet with different real estate agents, single out those agents who:

• Provide you with advice how to best prepare your villa or apartment for the market;

• Show enthusiasm for your property, listens attentively, instill confidence, operate in a professional manner, and have a complementary personality style to yours.

• Have already researched your villa or apartment in the public records.

• Bring data on nearby villas or apartments that have sold (or failed to sell) recently.

Step 3.

Get the answers to certain key questions:

• Does the estate agent have an active estate agency license in good standing?

• Is the estate agent a member of NAEA with its strict code of ethics?

• Is estate agency their full-time career?

• What estate qualifications does the agent hold?

• Who is the estate agent representing--you or the buyer? The discussion is supposed to occur early on, at "first interview" with you.

• In exchange for your commitment, how will the estate agent help you sell your home?

• Have the estate agents listed or sold a home in your immediate area lately?

Step 4.

Sign a listing agreement with the estate agent that you select, but pay particular attention any contractual time frames.

Many estate agents run a "no sale no fee" scheme, which apart from benefiting the seller if the property remains unsold is an added incentive for your agent to market the villa or apartment successfully.

When you enter into a marketing agreement with Ibiza Property, it's your agreement, subject to your satisfaction.

You're not obligated to fulfill any contractual time period, because we don't require it.

You can cancel the agreement at any time with proper notice.

But once you've seen how we work at Ibiza Property, we don't think you'll cancel.
