If you’re selling a residential or commercial property, getting a top-notch broker’s opinion of value can work in your favor. You’ll want to work with someone who is aware of what has sold in the past in the market, along with the current environment. It will be helpful if the broker has access to additional insight and data, which will make them stand out from others in the region, and ultimately increase your chances of a successful transaction.
1. Find Someone Who Uses the Right Sales Comps
2. Look for a Broker Who Knows Current Sales
3. Get a Broker Who Understands the Marketplace
4. Work with a Broker Who Has a Solid Track Record
After breaking into a market, each sale can help to establish a broker’s credibility. A long list of successful transactions and referrals will add relevance to an opinion of value. I offer to show others my entire sales list and let them contact any owner from it.
