Homeowners should demand a minimum level of service from their agent before they’re hired. Here are some of the performance level minimums that clients should force their agents to provide. Most homeowners are not aware of what duties a real estate agent performs so it’s really easy for lazy real estate agents to get away with sub-standard performance. That’s why it’s important to let the agent know what you expect before you hire them and let them know that you will terminate the contract if the agent doesn’t meet your minimum levels of service standards. Here are a few of the services you should demand from your agent.
Minimum Level of Agent Services
- Reports showing sales activity and pricing in your area.
- Reports showing all interest shown in your home.
- Contact all agents that showed the home to their clients to encourage a sale.
- A list of all media exposure where your home is featured.
- The maximum amount of pictures in MLS and a good description.
- Constant attention to your house’s price competitiveness.

Put It In Writing

Bill, I just have to say that I wish all realtors were like you. I’m an investor so have bought and sold with many agents and none have had half the integrity you do. Every homeowner should have a copy of this bill of rights.
Ramiro:
Thanks for all the great compliments. I’m glad I can be of service. If we can’t change the industry, we can at least better inform the public on how to avoid the bad parts and take advantage of the good parts.
In my experience, I’ve found that people are easily intimidated by pushy agents, or agents who are egotistical enough to believe that having their name on the sign sells the house. People have to realize that THEY are the boss and the agent is just an employee. Manage them like you would any employee. Praise them when they do well, but correct them when they come up short.
There’s a reason why the real estate industry is hated, it’s because most agents deserve it. Unfortunately, it’s an industry that’s too easy to enter and hard to weed out.
Thanks again for the compliments and any suggestions or additions would be greatly appreciated. While you’re at it, take a look at the articles on interviewing too.
I found your site very informative, this could help a lot…Thank you for sharing Bill of Rights…
