Top Ten Suggestions for Selecting a Real Estate Agent
In order to find a real estate broker or agent who meets your needs and makes your buying or selling experience a positive one, Century 21 Real Estate Corporation recommends you: DO NOT blindly walk into or call a neighborhood firm and ask for an agent at random.Ask friends and family for recommendations.Interview several real estate agents:- Find out their history with the brokerage, their experience and background.
- Gauge their knowledge of your favorite towns.
- Ask for a list of previous clients and their phone numbers.
Pay attention to whether a potential agent is listening closely to what you say.- Is he or she asking follow-up questions which prompt further explanation and help him or her understand exactly your needs and wants?
Give a potential agent the opportunity to educate you.- A good agent should walk a customer through the buying or selling process before ever showing properties or discussing a specific transaction.
Have a good idea of what you expect from an agent and communicate those expectations.- How often do you want to hear from your agent?
- Do you want to hold meetings at your house rather than the real estate office?
Weigh the benefits of working with an experienced agent versus a novice.- An experienced agent may have more insight, but a new agent may have innovative ideas or more energy and time.
Find an agent who complements your personality.- If you like to start your day at 7:00 a.m., don't choose an agent who arrives to the office at 10:00 a.m.
- If your preferred method of communication is e-mail, don't choose an agent whose most advanced technology is a fax machine.
Evaluate the agent's firm and/or office.- Look for a real estate organization whose agents can empower you with real estate expertise and resources and provide first-rate customer service.
Look for an agent who will be your partner.- Find someone you trust, who will give you the facts, help you make intelligent, well-informed decisions and work with you throughout the entire process.
