When you decide to sell your property, one of the most important steps is finding the right listing agent. This is the person who will guide you through the process, market your home effectively, and help you get the best deal. During our listing interview, you’ll have the opportunity to ask the right questions to ensure that we are aligned on every detail. As a real estate agent specializing in the Los Feliz area and beyond, I’ve helped countless homeowners successfully navigate the selling process, and I’m here to provide transparent, expert guidance at every step.

Here are four essential questions you should ask me during our listing interview:

1. "What’s Your Marketing Strategy?"

In today’s digital age, marketing plays a crucial role in how fast and how much you can sell your home for. A strong marketing strategy will reach the right buyers, whether they’re local, national, or international. Here’s how I market your home:

Digital Marketing: Through social media platforms, email campaigns, and real estate websites, I ensure your home gets maximum exposure.
Targeted Social Media: I use platforms like Instagram and Facebook, focusing on Los Angeles real estate hashtags and connecting with potential buyers.
Professional Photography and Staging: To showcase your home’s best features, I’ll arrange for professional photography and staging.
Networking: With years of experience in Los Feliz and surrounding areas, I have a robust network of buyers and agents that I tap into to help find the perfect match for your home.

This combination of online and offline marketing strategies is designed to create the most exposure for your home.

2. "How Do You Determine the Listing Price?"

Pricing your property correctly is one of the most important factors in selling your home. If a home is priced too high, it can sit on the market too long. If it’s priced too low, you risk not getting the return you deserve. I use the following methods to determine the right price for your home:

Comparative Market Analysis (CMA): This report looks at similar properties that have recently sold or are currently on the market in the Los Feliz area.
Local Market Trends: I keep up to date with local market shifts and adjust the price based on current demand and inventory.
Your Home’s Features: The unique characteristics of your property—such as size, condition, and location—also influence the price.

Together, we’ll decide on the optimal price based on solid data and current market conditions.

3. "How Will You Keep Me Informed Throughout the Process?"

Communication is key when selling a home. From the moment we list your property, I make it a priority to keep you updated on feedback from showings, market trends, and the offers we receive. Here’s what you can expect from me:

Regular Updates: You’ll receive regular updates on how your listing is performing. Whether it’s weekly or bi-weekly, I ensure you’re always in the loop.
Immediate Communication: If there’s an offer or a change in the market, you’ll hear from me right away. No waiting, no surprises.
Transparency: I’ll always provide you with honest feedback and clear explanations, so you know exactly where we stand.

4. "What Sets You Apart from Other Agents?"

There are many real estate agents out there, but what makes me different is my approach to client service and deep knowledge of the Los Feliz market. I focus on:

Tailored Marketing Plans: I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all strategy. I create customized marketing plans that work for your unique property.
Expert Negotiation: With over 20 years of experience, I know how to negotiate for the best possible price, whether you're selling a historic home in Los Feliz or a modern masterpiece in nearby neighborhoods.
Local Knowledge: Having worked in Los Feliz for years, I understand the nuances of the local market and can give you insights on what buyers are looking for in this sought-after area.

Conclusion:

Selling your property is a significant decision, and you deserve an agent who will guide you with expertise, transparency, and care. During our listing interview, we’ll dive deep into these questions—and more—to make sure we’re a perfect fit. With the right strategy and expertise, your home will get the attention it deserves.
