Realtors Experience Tips
By James R Blunt
Most people depend on the services of real estate agents to buy
and sell property, but you have to choose a realtor carefully.
You must have a good relationship with your listing agent in order
to get a great deal on your property.
Forming a trusting relationship with your real estate agent is
very important. Ask your friends and family to refer you to realtors
that they’ve worked with in the past. When you meet the
agent, review your options and evaluate their selling style, their
sales plan and ask questions to see how well they know the local
market.
Interview At Least Three Agents And Get It All In Writing
Some realtors specialize in some geographical areas or types
of housing, so make sure the realtor has the specialty you expect.
Be very clear about the agent’s commission and what services you
expect to be performed and get it in writing. You should interview
at least three agents before hiring someone. If the agent does
not perform to your expectations, then find another who will.
When choosing an agent, be sure that they have experience in
neighborhoods that interest you. That way, they’ll know what’s
available and in what price range. If you’re listing your property,
then a good agent will know the market well enough to set an optimum
asking price attractive to both seller and buyer.
Developing A Trusting Relationship With Your Agent
Be sure that communication stays open and phone calls are returned.
Some agents employ assistants to handle much of their legwork.
If this is the case, then be certain your agent is the one present
when it comes time to check the contracts and close the transaction.
As in any other business, there are good and bad realtors. A
buyer’s agent works only for the buyer and is bound to represent
you above all other interests. A seller’s agent works only for
the seller of the home. This means that they only look out for
the seller’s interest.
If you are using a disclosed dual agent, then the agent works
for both the buyer AND the seller. This often happens when an
agent sells a property that they have also listed for sale. Obviously,
this is a conflict of interest. As a home buyer, you’re better
off working with an agent who works only for you.
A Good Agent Can You Save You Time Finding A Quality Property
Some people grumble about the costs of realtors and choose to
sell their home or look for property themselves. However, this
can be a time consuming process. Real estate agents often work
around the clock and that’s how they earn their commissions.
A good real estate agent will be diligent about representing
your best interests if you choose carefully. Build a good relationship
with your agent by being upfront about your needs and then trust
them to carry through on their promises. If you choose well, you’ll
get a deal that everyone will be happy with.
