DH and I are finally ready to look for a RE agent to sell our home. Yes, I know we're slow pokes, but hey we're retired! Here's the basic info: We're moving into our former rental place which is about 6 miles from our current home we want to sell. We're in the DC metro area. Our current place is in a nice area and close to major communter routes. Homes in our development sell pretty well if priced right.
There are many agents in our area and we'd like to pick out 3 or 4 to interview to represent our place for sale. We've gone to a couple of open houses in our area and have already identified one agent we'd like to consider. Question: how can we identify good RE agents to interview? We've thought about asking neighbors, friends and looking at ads in local newspapers to find agents who seem to be good.
We need some advice on fixing up the place. It's in pretty good shape, but we'd like to keep the budget tight and do those things that will really help move the place. Things like stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, professional staging for sale, landscaping, etc. I'd really appreciate your thoughts on this.
Thanks.
