Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a seasoned investor or if you’re ready to downsize and you haven't bought or sold a home in years, this market is aggressive, constantly changing and it moves fast! There are some key points in finding the right agent for you and to ensure you are successful and happy before, during and after you make one of the biggest financial moves of your life.
-
Reviews and referrals are absolutely key as they are real world opinions of other people’s success stories working with the agent. They can provide first-hand information that can go in depth with regards to the agent’s responsiveness, service, knowledge and personality.
-
Have a conversation and establish a connection. Contact the agent to set up a meeting or have a conversation with them to see how well they listen to you, how they can provide customized service to suit your needs and fulfill your dreams. Make sure they are focused solely on your success and happiness. You will be able to make a connection very quickly and feel confident they will get the job done and always work in your best interest.
-
Knowledge, experience and client focus are integral. Make sure they are a full-time professional that is in tune with your market, experienced with multiple offers and negotiating with multiple agents simultaneously and that will work ethically to ensure you maximize your return on sale or success of purchase. There is way too much money at stake for you to over-spend or under-sell when making these major decisions. A professional that focuses on your purchase or sale and not focused on the number of sales is extremely important.
