Selecting the right agent is the number one factor in determining the success for the sale of your property, which is why it is crucial to thoroughly compare and evaluate the best agent for your property.


There are many components which often get overlooked, which could end up costing you hundreds of thousands of dollars!

What to look for in the perfect agent?


1 - How many properties have they sold in the past 12 months in your suburb?

The more properties that an agent sells in your area, means the more likely they are to have access to buyers that suit your property. Having just one extra buyer could dramatically increase your sale price. However, in saying this, you also may not want to go with the agent that sells the most in your area, as they could potentially be too busy to give your property 100% focus and attention.


2 - What is their average sale price?

There is no point using an agent for your 5 bedroom house if 95% of the properties that they sell are 1 bedroom units. For starters, they won’t have access to buyers with the budget or requirements for your property and also they will be inexperienced with selling your type of property which could have devastating results.


3 - What is their commission?

We often see many people selecting an agent based on who is the cheapest, which they soon find out wasn’t the smartest choice. A good agent typically charges between 1.5% - 2.2%, and is well worth the extra money. On countless occasions we have seen clients select an agent based on who was the cheapest, which ended up costing them tens of thousands. Paying an extra 5k for a good agent can potentially earn you an extra 100k or more.


4 - What is their average days on market?

Average days on market is another great way of determining an agents ability. Most elite agents have on average around 21 - 31 days on market for each campaign. This ensures that your property isn’t on the market for too long which can make it look stale to buyers and put doubt in their mind that there may be something wrong with the property.


5 - How long have they been in the industry?

Another important factor in determining who is the right agent for you is looking at how long each agent has been in the industry. Years of experience teaches many scenarios that may arise and teaches how to overcome them.


6 - Past feedback

The feedback of past clients is something that we heavily rely on in recommending agents for future listings. Customer satisfaction is among our top priority here at Find Your Agent. We review each agents past client reviews to ensure that they have provided a healthy experience and great sale result for their vendors.
