How will you market my Square One condo for sale?

How will you keep me updated on the condo sale progress?

You have the right to receive prompt and regular updates. A full-time and professional realtor to provide you with periodic updates over the phone or via email. Make sure you ask about the frequency of updates. Also find out the average number of days on market for the condos listed by the agent.

Find out if the agent recommends any updates or upgrades before putting the condo for sale in the market.

What is your commission to sell my Square One condo?

A fair question on a condo seller’s mind. Always a good question to ask. Sure there are discount brokerages out there, but remember what you give as commission, is what you may receive as service. Professional realtors usually charge up to 2.5% as seller agent commission (plus another 2.5% for the buyer brokerage), and will work hard to ensure you get the maximum value and returns. If you are selling your condo and buying another property with the same agent, he or she may as a courtesy extend some discount to you. Make sure both you and the agent are comfortable with the commission plan you agree to.

How strong is your network to help sell my Square One condo?

There is always strength in numbers. A realtor working with a well-established and well-known real estate brokerage in Mississauga, will have a strong network of fellow realtors. By the same token, a realtor with years of experience will have a huge database of keen buyers at his or her disposal. So you need an experienced realtor representing a reputable brokerage. What this helps with is to quickly match a buyer with your condo.

Can you provide me with seller client references?

End of the day client testimonials say it all. Unless you are referred directly by friends or family who have had a successful experience working with an agent, you should always ask for some referrals. You may choose to speak with the referrals, or read online reviews and testimonials in order to find the right square one realtor.
