Most Sellers Don’t Know How to Interview a Listing Agent. Here’s Some Guidance.

Do you know what to look for in a listing agent, and the questions to ask during an agent’s listing presentation? You’ll probably want to know their level of experience, competence and success in selling similar properties, hopefully within your city or neighborhood. Like most people, not just Realtors, I monitor the real estate activity where I live, and I’m astonished how many homes are listed by agents I’ve never heard of. As I write, there are 70 active or pending listings within five miles of our office, represented by 66 different agents from 58 different real estate offices, only four of which are local to Golden. And despite practicing real estate here for 21 years, I only recognize the names of 18 of those 66 listing agents. Where did the sellers find all those different agents to list their homes? Many, I suspect, are friends and family — every agent’s biggest “competitor.” In other cases, the seller just went under contract or closed on their replacement home elsewhere and was convinced by that listing agent to list their current home. Don’t fall for that. It’s not the best decision if that agent is unfamiliar with your neighborhood, lives far away, and is unable to show the home on short notice, answer questions from buyers, or keep your brochure box well stocked. Or perhaps the agent sent a letter or taped a note to the homeowner’s door claiming to have a buyer for their home. It’s one of the oldest tricks in the book. The tactic got him or her an interview, in which the agent said that unfortunately the buyer found another home — but now the agent’s foot is in the door and the seller decides to list with him or her. Let’s say, however, that you want to

interview listing agents and make a rational hiring decision. Good idea? First, select two or three agents to interview based on their location and experience in your neighborhood. Second, study their active/sold listings to see (1) their geographic distribution and (2) how well their listings are presented on the MLS. To get an accurate history and profile of an agent you may need the help of another agent such as myself who has access to your MLS. You want to see each agent’s profile and their active, pending and sold listings. Do a web search of the agents you’re considering. Read their profile, if they created one. Look at their current and sold listings. Click on one or more listing to see how they described the home on the MLS. Did they list all the rooms, not just bedrooms and bathrooms, and did they provide dimensions and descriptions, or did they just enter the mandatory fields? Not all MLS fields are mandatory. For example, only half of those 70 listings I mentioned above indicate what direction the house faces, and 28 of them didn’t indicate whether or not there is fencing, both of which are optional fields. Only 20 of the 70 listings indicated whether it is in an incorporated or unincorporated location. Those and other non-mandatory fields provide information that is important to many buyers. Since they are searchable fields, your listing may not be found by a buyer who has one of those optional fields as a search criterion. Looking at an agent’s listings will answer the most important questions which you’d ask in person, but you won’t have to take their word — the truth is there in front of you. You’ll learn, for example,

1-BR Condo in Lakewood Listed by David Dlugasch If you’ve be waiting to find an affordable condo in $198,000 Lakewood (or anywhere), this one at 1315 Estes St. #17-C may be it. It’s a 1-bedroom, 1-bath, 530square-foot unit on the top floor of the building shown at right. I own the same unit in the next building, which is how the owner of this one, who just got a job in Chicago, knew me, and I asked David Dlugasch to handle the listing while I’m away. Our handyman, Mark, who lives in my unit, just installed new vinyl hardwood floors throughout this unit. The bedroom has two double closets and a window air-conditioning unit. The bathroom has a newer vanity and light fixture. The living room also has a window air conditioner. Enjoy your morning coffee on your own private sunny balcony (at left). The self-managed HOA pays for water, central heating, sewer, and trash. Light rail is only three blocks away and the Colfax bus is a short walk away. This unit also comes with a reserved parking space (#30). A washer and dryer and private storage space are at the front of the common area.

whether they hired a professional photographer to shoot magazine quality photos or did their own point-and-shoot pictures, and whether they created a narrated video tour or just a slide show with music. Only 2 of those 70 listings (one of them mine) had the maximum number of photos uploaded to the MLS. And, although 37 of the 70 had URLs in the “virtual tour”

Keep in mind that the best indicator of how a listing agent will serve you is how they have served previous sellers. field, all but one of them were for either an interactive slideshow, a slideshow with a music track, or a gallery of pictures. The only one that was an live-action narrated video tour was my own listing! I’ve been doing narrated video tours for over 18 years and even gave a tutorial at my Realtor association to show other agents how easy it is to shoot and edit a video tour, yet I can only count on one hand the number of listing agents who are shooting videos now. It’s inexplicable to me why that is. Having chosen who to interview, ask these questions of those you invite into your home for an interview:

What commission percentage do you charge? Keep in mind, there is no standard commission. It’s totally negotiable, and the industry average is in the mid-5’s, not 6%. Will you reduce your commission if you don’t have to share it? Hopefully they include that in answering your first question. If you have to ask them, consider that a red flag. They hoped you wouldn’t ask. Only 17 of the 70 active or pending listings mentioned above indicate that they offer a “dual variable commission.” One of the things a fellow MLS member can research with their access to the MLS is whether that’s the established practice of the agent you’re interviewing. Will you reduce your commission if I hire you to purchase my replacement home? (Again, did they volunteer that, or did you have to ask?) Hopefully the candidate will have researched the market and will make a sound recommendation of listing price. Beware of agents who inflate their suggested listing price so you will list with them. When setting the appointment, ask the agent to bring a spreadsheet of their sold listings with dates, days on market, listing price and sold price.

This & That: Smaller Topics Not Worth Full Articles Could Concrete Be Made to Absorb CO2?

The production of Portland cement, used to create concrete, is a major producer of carbon dioxide emissions which contribute to climate change—an estimated 9% of all human emissions. Now a startup called Carbon Limit says it has created an additive that causes concrete to pull CO2 out of the air, mineralize and store it. The additive is called CaptureCrete.

Turning Straw into Building Boards

Farmers around the world are used to burning straw and other agricultural waste, contributing an estimated 3.5% of global greenhouse emissions. Now a Swedish startup called Our Ecolution has devised a process for making boards that can replace drywall, subflooring, ceilings and doors.
