What makes a sales representative a ‘property expert’?

Title : What makes a sales representative a ‘property expert’?

This term should not be used lightly in advertising because it would be reasonable that the reader of any advertising where there is a claim to be a “property expert” should have certain expectations.

According to the Macquarie Dictionary, an ‘expert’ is defined as:

“Someone who has special skill or knowledge in some particular field; a specialist; authority: a language expert; an expert on mining.”

If a sales representative is labelling themselves as ‘an expert’, you should expect that they have completed all the required training and registrations, have a wealth of experience working in the market and that they have an in-depth knowledge of their local area with a proven track record of success.

The sales representative you deal with should be able to comfortably answer the following questions:

  • When did you initially receive your government registration?
  • How did you gain your on-the-street training?
  • What is your role?
  • How long have you been conducting transactions?
  • How have you gained knowledge of this particular locality?
  • What are the trends in this particular locality?
  • What is the typical profile of prospective buyers and what are they looking for?
  • How do you determine the market value of a property?
  • How many transactions have you conducted in this locality in the last six months?
