IMPORTANT Questions Your MUST ASK Before Listing Your Home with An Agent.

Most people are taking the time to interview agents these days. Just knowing what to ask gives YOU the power to make informed decisions. Making an informed decision now to interview the top producers specializing in the area you live will save you time and money. Period.

Having conducted 100's of interviews for the leading AT&T Wireless company in the Northwest for years, I was at times shocked, surprised and even amazed at the responses I'd get when I sat down with perspective employees to hire. In comparison, interviewing Agents to sell something as significant as your HOME is of paramount importance.

Because we want to do our part to insure you're in the BEST possible position to sell your home, we're offering a detailed interview packet with questions you should ask any Agent during the interview process, and we'd like to offer it to you for FREE.

In a recent post we wrote titled "The Housing Market Says "SELL NOW" Not in Spring" we covered some very important points why NOW is the new spring season. There's a lot of buzz going on out there about this very topic with respect that the New Year is here and the Home Buyer Tax Credit deadline is approaching.

Zillow warns that the tax credit "will force buyers to speed up their decisions." Trulia stated, "Taking a chance and starting the sale process earlier will reap distinct benefits in 2010. The beginning of the year is going to be make-it-or-break-it, if you're a seller, get your property listed as early in the year as you can." And according to Frobes, they're on the long list of those who say "sellers should list homes early this year."

Selling a home in the dead of winter might seem ill-advised, particularly considering the state of the economy, but some experts think that making the decision to wait until spring to list the property could be a mistake.

Government incentives will likely have a big impact in 2010, with many buyers determined to sign a contract before the April 30 tax credit deadline.

"This year, we're anticipating sales will peak earlier," says Nicole Hall, editor in chief of Lendingtree.com, an online mortgage comparison service. "The best time to get your house on the market will be February or early March, and maybe even earlier if you want to avoid competition."

Traffic on real estate Web sites begins to rise right after the New Year, says Ken Shuman, spokesman for real estate Web site Trulia.com.

So what's next for Oregon home sellers who want to take advantage of this historic time to sell their home? Finding the RIGHT real estate professional to represent you.
