My Answer is: Pick a Great Agent Then Find Your Perfect Home
In shopping for property, you will no doubt get contacted from a few different real estate professionals who wish to do business with you.That is the competitive nature of the business as each agent is trying to carve out their niche of business.However, you probably don’t want to be burdened with numerous emails and calls from a multitude of agents, particularly if you are just trying to do some research about an area or a possible move.
So, what do you do?My recommendation is to pick a great Realtor® and let all of the others know that you are working with someone.If you do this, the other real estate agents should quickly stop contact with you.Also, once you find the right agent, finding the perfect homes for sale is that much easier and the quality of the communication that you receive from the agent should dramatically improve, with no more canned emails and no more bothersome phone calls.Once you choose a great agent, you have someone on your team that shares in your goals!That person will align behind and support your vision and timelines, and they are an expert.You will look forward to their contact because it contains value to you.
The trick is finding the perfect agent for you.With the help of some of my past clients, I have compiled a list of some of the qualities that you should look to find in a great agent.
1.An agent must be able to assist in finding and successfully negotiating a good deal.
2.An agent must have a great home search website, which is easy to use and has ALL of area’s listings.
3.An agent must have great knowledge of the area and market that they serve.
4.An agent must be easy to contact directly via phone, text or email and be quick to respond.
5.An agent must be a great listener, compassionate and trustworthy.
6.An agent must be loyal and put the needs of the client that he is serving before his own.
7.An agent must be a good personal communicator to keep deals alive through the closing.
8.An agent must be an expert in solving a multitude of property problems.
9.An agent must be connected with the many service professionals needed to close a home sale transaction.
10.An agent must be organized and scheduled to coordinate the array of details, tasks and timelines.
11.An agent must be committed to continuing to improve themselves through education and training.
12.An agent must be open to the continuing changes in the market and technology to aid the client.
