10 Smart Questions To Ask Before You Sign If not answered in agents’ listing packages or presentations, be sure to drill into these details:

1. Can you give me references from your recent sellers?

2. What fee(s) will you charge, and how are they calculated?

3. If I buy my next home through you or through a referral from you, will you discount your listing commission?

4. Do you guarantee your performance, and can I cancel the listing at any time? What is your broker’s policy on cancelations?

8. Will you personally handle contract negotiations, not just pass along buyers’ offers to me?

9. Why should I list with you (over the competition)?

10. Do you have any questions for me?
