IMPORTANT QUESTIONS TO
ASK WHEN HIRING A REALTOR!

Provided By: AKHomeShow.com

Question #1: Do You Practice Real Estate Full or Part Time?

You might think that real estate can be a part time job. In most cases that is far from the truth. Realtors can work many hours a week and need to be available at the drop of a hat or somebody else will beat them to the sale. It is important to have a full time Realtor represent you for this very reason. You also need to make sure you can contact them anytime day or night and get a prompt response.

Question #2: What Education Have You Completed?

In the state of Alaska there is currently only 20 hours of education required to obtain a real estate license. There are many classes outside of this that can be taken to increase a Realtor's knowledge. The mandatory 20 hours just covers the basics but definitely does not prepare a new Realtor well for real life experiences. Make sure you not only find an experienced Realtor but one who knows and practices the law!

Question #3: What Designations Have You Earned?

Designations show the accomplishment of certain sales and real estate classes as well as past performance in the industry. Realtors with designations have generally been in the business long enough to gain the experience you are looking for. Some of the possibilities for designations are, CRS, GRI and E-Pro Certified.

Question #4: What Do You Do Each Month For Marketing?

Whether you are buying or selling it is important to work with a Realtor who has a presence. This not only helps bring buyer to your home or fid you properties before they are listed but can help with negotiating.

Question #5: Have You Received Any Awards In Real Estate?

An established Realtor should have a list of awards they have received throughout their career which can help solidify they are what they say. Whether it is a Top Producer award from their company, provided they are not the only employee, or national recognition from their broker's franchise it is a good idea to check and make sure you are working with the best professional possible.
