Questions to Ask the Best Tillotson
REALTORS® Before Hiring

You may think all Tillotson REALTORS® & area real estate agents are the same, or that you may only spend a couple weeks with the person. When you bringing another person into your life, your finances, and your home it is critical to take the time to make the correct decision.

When speaking to your screened real estate agent ask if they are experienced and knowledgeable enough to know the average days on the market of properties in the community. They will base this on factors such as location of your house, condition of house, price, timing, and market demand. The primary goal is to sell your house in the fastest time possible but also for the best price.
Always ask to see how long their own listings sit on the market. Compare it to other agents you interview and if theirs is high ask for an explanation.
Always be sure you are working with a trained, licensed professional. Every listing agent should be prepared to deliver proof of their Alberta real estate license to sell in your area.
Like a license, every listing agent and buyer agent should arrive at a first meeting with a list of referrals. IF they do not, ask for them.
Alberta Communities are different in terms of what types of homes sell, what buyers want, and more. Agents are selling the neighborhood and its amenities as well. If an agent has experience in your specific neighborhood that is an advantage.
Be cautious of new Tillotson agents. It is not a deal breaker by any means especially if they have great customer referrals based on closed transactions.
Be far more cautious if an agent is part-time. Selling your home needs to be a full-time job, and they should be focused.
Find Tillotson REALTORS® with community experience and market knowledge to ensure your transaction is completed competently and professionally.
