7 Tips To Choose A Real Estate Agent For Selling In Egg Harbor Township NJ

Don't hire a real estate agent in Egg Harbor Township without checking on these things first

Selling your Egg Harbor Township home is a big decision.  Buying and selling a home can be one of the largest financial decisions you will make in your lifetime.  Here are 7 tips for picking a great real estate agent for selling your Egg Harbor Township home.
  1. Talk with agents’ recent clients.  Ask for a list of past clients and references from the agent your considering.  Check for online testimonials and reviews.
  2. Check for license and disciplinary actions.  You can look up agent’s NJ license numbers here: https://www20.state.nj.us/DOBI_LicSearch/recSearch.jsp
  3. Ask about professional awards.  NJ agents receive the Circle Of Excellence Award.  If the agent hasn’t earned this award in the past year they are most likely not a full time agent and have not done an exceptional volume of business.  My dad and I have consistently earned this award.  Last year we earned the silver and bronze awards.
  4. Select the right broker.  The company does matter.  Keller Williams Realty is the #1 selling broker in Egg Harbor Township, NJ with 263 units sold last year.
  5. Find out how experienced an agent is.  Ask for the number of transactions the agent has had over the  past year. Combined The Haviland Group had 67+ transitions sides and over $12 million in sales volume in 2018.
  6. Look at the agent’s current listings and sold listings.  Does the agent have listings for sale in Egg Harbor Township and how many sold in the last year? Last year we sold 14 homes in Egg Harbor Township.
  7. Gauge the agent’s knowledge of the area.  Egg Harbor Township is a unique location.  It’s a large township with everything from waterfront homes, farm properties, developments, 55 and over communities and golf course properties.  Each section of the township is different and you need an agent that understands this.

What’s The Best Real Estate App?

We review the pros and cons of real estate apps and look at the new KW app.

What's The Best Real Estate App

My KW.com app.

Everyone has an App these days.  Banking, social media and even your favorite restaurants all have apps.  They are convenient ways to stay connected and offer many conveniences.  So when it comes to real estate Apps which one is best?

There are many large real estate websites that all have apps.  And most of them work very well.  Apps like Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia etc.  provide similar home search functions and capabilities.  They are connected to GPS so when you are driving around or walking around you simple open your app and you’ll see all the homes for sale around you.  You’ll also see photos, prices and details.

Here is the biggest problem with these apps… they are not connected to a local agent.  These apps are not connected to a local real estate expert who is looking out for your needs and best interest.  So if you have a question or want more details on a property you may be connected to the listing agent but most of the time you’ll be sent to an agent who has paid to advertise on the app that may know nothing about the property at all.

My app also has a map function where you can draw the area you are interested in and it will pull up all available homes.

So what’s the best real estate app?  Mine of course!  My KW app allows my clients and friends and family to have all the features and benefits of the big name real estate apps with a connection to a local agent who is looking out for your best interest.  My app works nationwide.  And if you’re looking at home outside of my area of coverage I can connect you with a local agent anywhere in the country through our network of over 150,000 highly trained agents.

For 2019 our app will be totally redesigned with direct connection to every Multiple Listing Service in the country we will have the most accurate data for our customers.  If you would like a great real estate app connected with a great real estate agent download my free app now.  When the new version of the app is released your app will automatically be uploaded to the new version.  Click here to download now or Text
