In today’s age of technological “savvy”; Internet intelligence and overall increased consumer knowlege, one of the most intelligent decisions a Buyer or Seller of real estate can make, is to INTERVIEW YOUR REALTOR!

Prior to giving anyone (representing) him or herself as a “Realtor”, any of your pertinent business information, you should bare minimally be able to obtain the following information from the “Realtor” you are considering hiring:

  1. The Realtor is knowledgeable about your neighborhood and sales stats;
  2. The Realtor has done basic research on the sales history of your home;
  3. The Realtor should be willing to commit to agreed upon deadlines regarding updates and communications of the status of your home;
  4. The Realtor has win-win negotiation skills;
  5. The Realtor understands and abides by the Code of Ethics and Standards of (NAR) National Association of Realtors;
  6. The Realtor is an active member of at least one Board of Realtors group;

After a Buyer or Seller is comfortable with the answers and credentials of a Realtor being considered for hire, then, and only then should a Buyer or Seller, be willing to sign on the dotted line, with YOUR REALTOR, STANDING BY YOUR SIDE.

About Yolanda J. Ash

I have been writing in some form or fashion all of my life. I have written technical journals, 501(c)(3) articles of incorporation, resumes, newsletters, web content, short stories, you name it, I've written it. I have had several articles published, and I am presently working on several manuscripts for publishing and public scrutiny and enjoyment. One day, I would love to try my hand at script and screen writing and books for children. I have only recently begun to pursue my writing seriously and as a legitimate means of earning a living. My greatest drive and inspiration for doing such is my beautiful, intelligent, inquisitive little muse...my daughter. I have beguiled numerous opportunities for earning money. Writing is by far, the only one that brings me the joy and satisfaction I experience doing it, as well as the blessed chance to be a stay at home Mother to witness and enjoy my daughter's daily growth and development.
