Question I was wondering how I can find a realtor to sell my house in Texas long-distance. I have moved across the county and had rented out my previous home. Now I would like to sell it. I do not have the ability to fly back to Texas to clean or repair the house and I have no idea what condition the renters may leave it in. What services can a realtor offer me in this situation?
Answer Dear Molly,
If you have a local realtor contact him/her and have them refer you. Most companies participate in referral networks. If that doesn't work I would try to search via the internet. Look for an agent with a website that also has a quantity of their own listings posted. Some agents have no listings and will post mls listings. Interview the agent over the phone and have them send you a marketing package with referrals and a list of properties sold. The agent you choose should be able to assist you in getting the house ready for market.
Hope this helps and good luck
