The right agent will provide you with up-to-date information on pricing, financing, marketing and a general overview of the current housing market. Over the course f the sale your agent will act on your behalf, giving your the advice and guidance t evaluate every buyer’s offer. Selecting Your Agent When selecting your agent, consider the reputation of their agency, the sales agent’s track record, their recent sales and their knowledge of the local area. On a more personal level, you should consider how your agent presents themselves and the rapport y u have with them. When selling your property, you want somebody you can communicate with openly and clearly. You want someone you can trust. The advantage of a real estate network that’s both national and intern tional should not be overlooked. W market your property on leading international real estate portals, such as juwai.com (China) and l adgalaxy.com (Europe, UK, North America). This presents your property to an additional 15,000,000 unique visitors each month who are looking to purchase property. Selling Drop in or visit rh.com.au and get to know your local agent today.
