We asked 所有物／資産／財産 専門家s to tell us the most important questions a homeowner should ask an スパイ／執行官 before 手渡すing them the 職業.?

The 目的（とする） should be to use an 広い地所 スパイ／執行官 that has experience of selling 類似の 所有物／資産／財産s to yours, in your 地元の area.

It's 価値（がある） first checking in their shop window, on their website or on the online 所有物／資産／財産 portals like Rightmove and Zoopla to see what they have sold.

Nicky Stevenson, managing director of スパイ／執行官 罰金 & Country says: 'Asking about 最近の sales is a 広大な／多数の／重要な way to 計器 how successful the スパイ／執行官 is in marketing and selling 所有物／資産／財産s 類似の to yours, in your area.?

'It also gives you an 指示，表示する物 of the 速度(を上げる） at which they have been known to 安全な・保証する 利益／興味, and if the price 達成するd was in line with the marketing and guide price.

'Seeing 類似の 所有物／資産／財産s will 許す you to 計器 how 井戸／弁護士席 they were 現在のd and marketed, an d 示す that they have active 買い手s in the database ready to 見解（をとる）.'

の近くにing the 取引，協定: You need to 設立する that the 広い地所 スパイ／執行官 has a good 跡をつける 記録，記録的な／記録する of selling homes 類似の to your own in the 地元の area

It's very important to see 証拠 of them selling plenty of homes that are 類似の to your own, によれば?Chris Husson-ツバメ, 長，率いる of sales at スパイ／執行官 Hamptons in Salisbury.

He says: 'The best question to ask to sort the men from the boys is, "What's your market 株?"'.?

'You don't want to see everything they have sold between £0 and £1m. You need to 設立する if they are market leaders in your 地元の area and at your price 範囲.

'You then need to ask, why are they market leaders? What do they do 異なって to other スパイ／執行官s?'

The 目的 of these questions, によれば Husson-ツバメ, is to 設立する if they are the スパイ／執行官 with the best salespeople.

'What tends to happen is a friend or family will recommend an 広い地所 スパイ／執行官, who hasn't 現実に sold anything in your area or may not be ふさわしい to your type of 所有物／資産／財産.

'Just because someone says the 指名する, you 雇う them to sell your home and they're not going to do a good 職業 for you because they don't 取引，協定 in your market.

'You need to 設立する who will be the best スパイ／執行官s to sell your home. 地元の market 株 and 存在 able to 論証する they are good 販売人s is the 重要な.'

2. What's the market like at the moment??

It's often said that the 所有物／資産／財産 market isn't one 選び出す／独身 market at all, but a 一連の 地元の 'micro-markets.'?

As 最近の house price 索引s have shown, some parts of the country have seen only very ごくわずかの house price 落ちるs in the last year - while others have had 減少（する）s of nearly 6 per cent.??

So the 目的（とする） of this question is to find out whether the スパイ／執行官 is in touch with what's happening in your area - and whether they are willing to be honest with you if things are 堅い.

Price 落ちるs: Will your スパイ／執行官 be honest with you if it is not the best time to sell your home?

Iain McKenzie, 長，指導者 (n)役員／(a)執行力のある of 広い地所 スパイ／執行官 網状組織 The Guild of 所有物／資産／財産 Professionals says: 'This may seem like a basic question to ask, but it gives the 販売人 a （疑いを）晴らす 指示，表示する物 of how much the スパイ／執行官 has their finger on the pulse when it comes to market 条件s.

'効果的な communication and 信用 are 根底となる 面s of the スパイ／執行官-vendor 関係.?

'The スパイ／執行官 should always prioritise your best 利益／興味s, fostering an 環境 where you feel comfortable discussing 事柄s 率直に and 自由に, even if this means putting off a sale until the market is in a better place.'

It's 価値（がある） trying to understand what the 所有物／資産／財産 market is doing in your 地元の area before asking this question - so you know whether their answer is 権利.

You can do this by calling other 広い地所 スパイ／執行官s, or checking on Rightmove and Zoopla to see the number of 所有物／資産／財産s that have sold, how many have had the asking price 減ずるd, and how lo ng those that are still 利用できる have been on the market for.

3. What are you doing 異なって in today's market compared to the pandemic にわか景気?

Some 広い地所 スパイ／執行官s may try to （人命などを）奪う，主張する that the market is as busy as ever.?

This may be the 事例／患者 in a few areas - but in the 広大な 大多数 of 事例／患者s it's a 堅い 環境 in which to sell a home at the moment.

Hitting the phones: You want to hear that スパイ／執行官s are 存在 proactive in their search for 買い手s?

Asking prices are 存在 削除するd, agreed prices are 落ちるing and 処理／取引 levels are 意味ありげに 負かす／撃墜する compared to previous years.

We are no longer in the 販売人's market of 2021 and 2022. The 買い手's market that we are now in 需要・要求するs a more proactive approach from 広い地所 スパイ／執行官s.

For a start, they can no longer rely on just advertising it on the internet and waiting for the phone to （犯罪の）一味.

Husson-ツバメ?says: 'We had the pandemic years where it was all mad and all very exciting. But we're in a 全く different market now. So it's important to ask 広い地所 スパイ／執行官s what they are doing 異なって now the market is tougher.

'Good 広い地所 スパイ／執行官s will interact and call people, so that's what you want to hear. You want to hear that they're 現実に 肉体的に telephoning people to discuss what they want to do, and to get them come and see your house.'

Nothing will 証明する an スパイ／執行官 has the capacity to sell than their ability to sell 多重の homes before they even reach Rightmove or Zoopla, によれば Husson-ツバメ.

'Ask them to 論証する what success they've had selling 所有物／資産／財産s off market, he says, 'rather than just relying on the internet to bring in leads.

'A lot of スパイ／執行官s are 有罪の of sitting 支援する and relying on 買い手s to come to them rather than the other way around.

'I like to show people brochures of 所有物／資産／財産s we sold that never （機の）カム to market. It shows my team 選ぶ up the phone and 現実に call 買い手s.'

'Don't やむを得ず rely on this flashy person sitting there and espousing everything that you want to hear. You may never hear from them again.

'They should be 用意が出来ている to get their entire sales team out, so they can see the house and you'll 会合，会う the people who you're going to を取り引きする.

'These are the same people that you'll be ゆだねるing to sell, so you'll want to feel you can 信用 them to do a good 職業.'

Don't rely on the valuer: Often the person who comes to value your home and 勝利，勝つ your 指示／教授／教育 is not the same person who will be trying to sell your home

6. How do you vet 可能性のある 買い手s?

Most 販売人s care about who the 買い手 is and want to know if they are 信頼できる and in a 財政上の position to proceed with the 購入（する）. They rely on the スパイ／執行官 as the middleman to 設立する this.

'If there is an emotional 関係 to the 所有物／資産／財産, they are also going to want to know if it will be 扱う／治療するd with love once it is sold,' McKenzie of the Guild of 所有物／資産／財産 Professionals 追加するs.

8. Why should I 信用 your valuation?

Some スパイ／執行官s are 有罪の of playing a numbers game, and take on as many 指示／教授／教育s as possible.?

They'll tell the 販売人 what they want to hear to 勝利，勝つ them over. Then over time, they'll 徐々に claw 負かす／撃墜する the asking price, leaving 買い手s wondering if there is a problem with the home, and the 販売人 with months of 失望／欲求不満.

Husson-ツバメ says: 'When they give a price, 需要・要求する they show you the 類似のs.?

'They need to show how they （機の）カム up with this 人物／姿／数字, and 証明する they're not just 説 an attractive number just to 勝利，勝つ the 指示／教授／教育.'

9. What （売買）手数料，委託（する）／委員会／権限 will I 支払う／賃金?

Someone selling their £250,000 home with an スパイ／執行官 非難する a 3 per cent 料金 加える 付加価値税 would 結局最後にはーなる 支払う／賃金ing £9,000 in 機関 料金s.

For those selling more expensive homes, even a 公正に／かなり 普通の／平均（する） 1.5 per cent 加える 付加価値税 料金 (totalling 1.8 per cent) can eat up more than £10,000. Sell a £750,000 所有物／資産／財産 with that 料金 and the スパイ／執行官 will want a £13,500 削減（する）.

証明する it: When an 広い地所 スパイ／執行官 gives you their 見積（る） what your home ins 価値（がある）, get them to 支援する it up with examples of 類似の 所有物／資産／財産s they have sold
