CRITICAL
QUESTIONS
TO ASK BEFORE HIRING AN AGENT
1: How long have you been selling real estate?
Eric Robb full time since 2014, our team members
experience varies, but we have over 30 years of
combined experience. We’ve handled hundreds
of successful transactions from starter homes to
estates. No lawsuits :)
2: What are your qualifications?
Our team is in the top 1% of agents. We hold ourselves
and our team members to a very high standard.
Every agent on our team is a member of the Atlanta
Board of Realtors and practices their craft fulltime.
3: What neighborhoods do you specialize in?
Your agent should be well-acquainted with the areas
you’re interested in, so search for someone who can
rattle off key info about your desired neighborhood,
including home prices, schools, safety, public
transportation, and cultural amenities. Our team
specializes in areas and subdivisions all over metro
Atlanta but our sweet spot is North Fulton and
Gwinnett counties.
4: Can you give me a list of client references?
Of course, we have references from clients, agents,
mortgage brokers, title companies, etc. We have
over 100 reviews on Zillow, Google and Facebook.
We invite you to look us up.
5: Can you show examples where you were
successful when other agents were not?
Absolutely, in fact there are several through this
guide and in our testimonials. With our proven VIP
buying plan we will help you navigate the process
effectively, negotiate fiercely and maximize our
communication together for a successful closing.
6. Can you recommend a home inspector/
handyman/real estate attorney in the area?
Local expertise matters not only with the real estate
agent you hire, but also with the other professionals
you could meet as you negotiate this real estate
deal. So, if you need recommendations for a home
inspector, handyman, real estate attorney, or anyone
else on your home-buying journey, our agents can
answer your questions and make recommendations
to boost the odds that it will be smooth sailing from
here on in.
7. What’s your schedule and availability?
Many real estate agents work only part time, which
presents a lot of problems: What if a bidding war
has just begun on the home you just have to have, or
you encounter last-minute closing snafus? Our team
of full-time agents ensures no balls are dropped and
that each client has access to us 24/7.
8. How will you keep in contact with me during the
buying process, and how often?
We will keep in contact via whatever method you
prefer. We are nearly always available via phone,
text and email. We talk with most of our buyers
daily, so we don’t miss out on anything in this fastmoving
market.
9. Do you work independently or with a team?
We are a team made up of Eric Robb as our Team
Leader and Listing Specialist as well as multiple
buyer agents, a transaction coordinator and an
administrative assistant.
10. What percentage of your business is working
with home buyers?
When you buy a home with Robb Realty Group, you
will be assigned a buyer’s agent who is specifically
focused and professionally trained to help clients find
and close on their dream home. About 60% of our
business comes from buyers and 40% from listings.
11. How long does it typically take buyers you’ve
worked with to find and purchase a home?
Buying a house takes time. In general it takes an
average of 30 to 60 days to shop for a house, and 14
to 60 days to go from contract to closing. However,
this number varies widely from area to area. In the
Atlanta market, our buyer clients normally go under
contract within 30-60 days of looking.
12. How will you determine what homes may match
my wants and needs?
We will set you up on an advanced search on our
website www.robbrealtyatlanta.com that is directly
linked to the MLS (multiple listing service), with
homes that meet your criteria so that we can quickly
pinpoint the homes that you are most interested in.
13. How many homes did you help buyers close in
the past year?
We helped 62 families in 2020 find new homes last
year. That’s over $24M in sales!
14: What happens if I want to fire you? How many
times have you been fired?
Simply pick up the phone. Twice in 30 years of
combined experience. The first time was with a client
who thought “exclusive agency” meant that we
would cancel our other listings. The next time was
about 4 years ago when I told a buyer to simply stop
offering $450,000 on homes listed at $650,000. He
fired me right on the spot. Either way I was happy
both times.
