Put it in Writing
It is easy to have brokers and agents to find buyers but the matter of the set price should be clearly emphasized. For sure, aside from the agreed commission to be handed out, they will be placing mark-ups on your desired price for your property. Make sure this does not happen because for one thing, it may take a while before your property can be sold.
As far as the final price is concerned, you may not know unless you see the final documents. While you may or may not see them, the broker will inform you in the end on the proper price of the said sale. Sometimes you may become surprised to see that they sold it a larger price. Think of the price you should have sold it.
