What happens when you meet with a potential listing agent? We discuss what an initial consultation looks like, and how you can best prepare.What should I expect from this meeting? What is usually discussed, what should I bring up? Here's what to know before your first meeting with a Realtor to sell your house. Be prepared with the right questions and stay open-minded. Most realtors work certain hours a week answering the company phone. After eight hours they want to talk to you or anyone else that calls. It will take at least a month, more typically three months, for sellers to prepare their home and close the deal. The initial consultation will take about an hour and when i get to the home we're going to sit down and talk for five minutes.
