10 Questions to Ask When Hiring a REALTOR

10 Questions to Ask When Hiring a REALTOR®

Homeowners should interview a few potential REALTORS® before deciding on one to sell their home. Here are some smart questions to ask:

1.  How long have you been in the business?
A freshly-licensed REALTOR® can do a wonderful job and will have up-to-date training; those in the business longer bring more practical experience to the table.

2.  What is your average list-to-sales-price ratio?
A competent listing REALTOR® should hold a track record for negotiating sales prices that are very close to list prices.

3.  How will your marketing plan meet my needs?
Specifically, how will you sell my home? Where and how often do you advertise? Will you show me a sample flyer? How do you market online?

4.  Will you provide references?
Ask if any of the references are related to the REALTOR®. Ask if you can call their references with additional questions.

5.  What separates you from your competition?
Key phrases to listen for: assertive, available by phone or e-mail, analytical, professional, reliable, and able to maintain a good sense of humour under trying circumstances.

6.  May I review documents that I will be asked to sign?
A good REALTOR® makes forms available to you before you are required to sign them. Ask to see agency disclosure, the listing agreement and seller disclosure.

7.  How will you help me find other professionals?
Ask for a written list of referring vendors. Get an explanation if you see the term “affiliated”. It could mean the REALTOR® is getting compensation from vendors.

8.  How much do you charge?
You don’t have to ask if the fee is negotiable, since all real estate fees are negotiated. It may be a good idea to ask what their commission fee is for your reference.

9.  What kind of guarantee do you offer?
If you sign a listing agreement with the REALTOR® and later find that you are unhappy with the arrangement, will the REALTOR® let you cancel the agreement?

10.  What haven’t I asked you that I need to know?
Pay close attention to how the REALTOR® answers this question, because there is always something you need to know--always.

Meet Roberto

I was born and raised in Vaughan, Ontario, where I attended Holy Cross Catholic Academy High School. After graduating, I followed my passion for health and wellness at George Brown College, earning a diploma in Fitness and Health Promotion. During my student years, I spent time volunteering and working in recreational and youth programs for the City of Vaughan. From a young age, I’ve always aimed to be approachable, community-minded, and actively involved in the place I call home.

My strengths come from deep community ties, one-on-one client experience in the wellness space, and an early drive to succeed as an entrepreneur. After completing my diploma and practicing fitness and personal training for several years, I explored another creative passion and began working as a Stone Artisan with PVD Tile. There, I specialized in designing custom natural stone and marble pieces for luxurious, unique home renovation projects across Toronto and the GTA. That hands-on, detail-oriented work, and the creativity it required, naturally led me toward a career in real estate.

Today, I’m a licensed Realtor and Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist, proudly representing RE/MAX Noblecorp in Toronto. I’m also a multi-year 100% Club Award achiever at RE/MAX, and one of the lead producers within my own brokerage, a recognition of consistent client success and results. I have represented home sellers and buyers in luxury home sales across Toronto, managed upsizing or downsizing of families in my community, dealt with property investments and relocations in the GTA and abroad to the US and Europe, and have also helped landlords and tenants locally. 

I currently live in Toronto, and enjoy spending my free time with family and friends. I love to travel, explore, shop, and stay active. I'm passionate about fitness, music, dancing, soccer, and volleyball. I’ve been surrounded by athletics my entire life and am also a proud Toronto Maple Leafs fan. I take pride in living a healthy lifestyle and being present for the people I love, especially as an uncle to my nieces and nephew. Everyday, I strive to grow as a son, brother, uncle, and friend. I am a compassionate Catholic and believe that faith provides a meaningful foundation for life.

I believe that success, both personally and professionally, comes from hard work, integrity, and consistency. My goal is to craft a personalized strategy that meets your unique needs and builds a strong foundation for achieving your real estate goals. Whether you're buying, selling, or investing, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
