Choosing an agent in Richardson: questions
How much do real estate agents charge in Richardson?
Commissions in Texas are negotiable, and since 2024 the buyer's agent's pay is agreed separately from the listing agreement. Ask each Richardson agent for their full fee in writing, what it covers (photos, staging, marketing), and how long the listing agreement runs.
How do I choose a listing agent in Richardson?
Interview two or three. Ask how many houses they sold in your part of Dallas County in the past year, how they arrived at the price they suggest, and what they'd fix before listing. Strong recent reviews from sellers, not only buyers, are a good sign.
Should I list with an agent or sell for cash in Richardson?
Listing usually brings the higher price when the house shows well and you can wait for a buyer and their lender. A cash sale fits when the house needs work, has tenants, or is tied up in an estate or a deadline. Texas sales close through a title company, which pays off the loan, the taxes and any HOA balance before you're paid.
