Tips for choosing the right Real Estate Agent

November 5, 2021

Austin Keisling

1.      
Experience Matters

The sale of a home requires many moving parts, for both the
buyer and seller. Selling a home is usually the largest transfer of wealth in
someone’s life. Finding the right real estate agent to help facilitate this
transfer could be the difference in tens of thousands of dollars. You will want
to find someone who has experienced nearly every scenario and knows how to successfully
negotiate on your behalf, so you can close successfully and on time.

2.      
Track Record

Would you rather have an agent who has been in the real
estate industry for 15 years with an average of 5 sales a year, or a real
estate agent who has been in working for 10 years with 50 sales per year?
Understanding your agent’s track record is paramount because you need an agent
who can help you achieve your goal with ease. Research your local agent online
to see their track record and assure that they are a full-time agent.

 

3.      
Trust is key

 

Working with trustworthy people is a good strategy in all
business matters, especially when the person will be handling one of your
biggest assets. A real estate agent has a fiduciary duty to their client, which
means that they must always work in your best interest. A successful agent is focused
on you – not themselves, and this means helps to ensure the best results for
you.

 

4.      
Is there support?

It is important to understand that a single agent cannot
carry out every aspect of a real estate transaction. A good agent should have
an exemplary support staff and team helping them, with all the details and
paperwork, lead by an experienced broker. This allows your agent to spend their
time working with you to meet your needs and offer you their undivided
attention and open communication.

5.      
Reviews

 

When choosing a real estate agent, it would be prudent to
ask them for some references, as any great agent should have a quick list of
satisfied customers, ready to recommend them to anyone who calls. In addition,
it is highly advised to check the reviews from previous clients on websites
like Zillow and Google before you make your decision. Doing both is very
important because the online reviews may differ from the ones given to you by
the agent and you will want to see the whole picture when making this important
decision.
