Interviewing Realtors
We listed our house in Tucson before moving back here hoping to sell it and move on base last September, but the market died and I think our realtor just wasn't that good. When I took the house off the market, I got calls daily by realtors wanting to know why and if/when I was going to list it again.
Six months later in March we decided to list it and at first I was spoke to a few realtors, but one of the guys who previously cold called me contacted me again and I agreed to see his pitch, he specialized in houses that didn't sell.
We decided to go with him and within 72 hours of the house being listed we had 2 full price offers. Now we close on 16 April and move into base housing like originally planned.
If I was looking for to purchase a house I would've went with a realtor that was a personality match, but since I wanted to sell I went with a guy with a track record of selling. The team he works on sold almost 200 houses in 2017 and he sold 50 of those.
He did hire someone to take professional photos and that was a huge difference compared to the cell phone photos my previous realtor used.
