The biggest mistake buyers and sellers make when hiring a Realtor is that they do not do their homework before hiring a real estate agent.  They end up with a house that sits on the market longer, sells for a lower price, and the time spent dealing with that agent is a nightmare.  AgentHarvest helps minimize the chance of this happening by finding the best available agents in your area for you to interview.  We also help you save money by offering these services for free and by giving you cash back at closing.  We don’t make you sign contracts and you are not obligated to use any of the agents we connect you with.  So basically AgentHarvest is a free service that pays you to use it, requiring no obligations on your part.  What do you have to lose?

When AgentHarvest searches for real estate agents for you to interview, we look at several factors that we think would make the ideal real estate agent to serve your home buying or selling needs.

We typically look at the following key factors when selecting real estate agents for you.

• Agents that Sell Houses In Your Neighborhood
  By sell houses, I don’t mean put a FOR SALE sign in your neighbor’s yard, or mailed postcards to everyone you know, I mean they actually SOLD at least one house close to yours.  If an agent hasn’t recently sold a house in your neighborhood in the past six months, they are not even considered.  Also, by focusing our search on such a small territory, we can find agents that know about your neighborhood or area and know how to market a listing in that area.  Big cities such as Dallas have several pocket communities in the city that attract specific types of buyers and offer specific amenities.  Realtors that specialize in these pocket territories know that area’s buyer demographics and know how to market to them to attract them to your property.  Also agents that service a particular neighborhood can better price your home to sell than an agent that doesn’t know the area.  A city’s real estate market is comprised of smaller sub-markets.  Each sub-market behaves differently.  Housing prices in some markets go up while other areas experiencing falling home prices.  You need an agent that knows which market your house is competing in.

• Six-Month Time Span
  Can an agent sell in today’s market?  Today the real estate market in your area may be a buyer’s market, but last year might have been a seller’s market.  Who cares if an agent could sell in last year’s market, it’s today’s market that counts.  Each market requires a different strategy to succeed so you’d better find an agent that knows today’s market tactics.  By narrowing our collected data to only the past six months of sales, we can clearly see which agents perform in today’s market.

• Similar Sized Houses
  You need an agent that knows how to sell your sized home and how to make it appeal to the type of buyer that would want it.  When we perform an agent search we reduce the list to only show agents that have sold/bought houses similar in size to your house.

• Unique Features or Needs
  If there is something unique about your house, such as a waterfront property, a short sale, a townhouse or condo, investment property, etc., that requires an agent with a special talent we may be able to include those talents in our search criteria.

Picking The Right Agents For You

From the criteria listed above, we narrow down the list to find the right real estate agent for you by first looking at:

Agents That Sold Multiple Houses:  Agents that have sold more than one house in your neighborhood, starting with agents that sold the most.  Even though we may not know these agents, we think their record demonstrates that they are capable of selling a house.

Agents That We Have a History With:  Agents that have favorably represented AgentHarvest’s clients will also be contacted as long as they have sold a house recently in your neighborhood and made our selection list.  Good agents are hard to find and if we see an agent that sold a house in your area that we have favorably worked with before, we want you to meet them.

We’re Just A Phone Call Away

Evaluating agents can be a daunting and intimidating task.  When looking at their track records, there are a lot of factors to consider and weigh.  You don’t have to do it by yourself.  We have a licensed Realtor, Bill Petrey, available to assist you in evaluating the pile of data.  Want to know what repairs make the most sense for you before you list your house?  Curious about the best time to list?  We’re here to answer any question you have regarding the buying or selling of your house, interviewing an agent, etc.  Our services are free for you to take advantage of.  Our AgentHarvest Blog also has lots of articles you can use too.  Just remember, we’re here to help.
