You might not need to sell your home quickly. But if the daily maintenance on your residence has become a chore, or if your existing mortgage payments are too high now that you’re no longer pulling in a regular salary, selling a home as quickly as possible for the highest possible price might be key.That’s where finding the right real estate agent can help.Kathryn Bishop, a REALTOR® with Keller Williams Realty in Studio City, Calif., says that retirees should interview potential real estate agents carefully. She recommends that homeowners ask real estate agents to provide a list of recent sales, along with photos of those homes. You want to know that agents have sold homes like yours and for how much.Bishop recommends that you ask agents how long each of the homes they sold sat on the market. Ask, too, what the original listing prices were compared to the eventual sales price.The key to selling a house remains setting the right asking price. It can be tempting to list your home at a higher price. But if it’s too high for the market, that listing price won’t attract any serious offers.“Do not automatically sign with the agent who suggests the highest listing price,” Bishop says. “If you do use that agent, it will take longer to sell, you’ll have more open houses and ultimately you will sell at the market price or below market price months later.”
