If you’re buying or selling a home, how do your choose the real estate team to guide you? How do you know if you’ve found the right agent or lender?
The important characteristic that you should be looking for in your agent is someone who is going to take the time to really educate you on the choices available to you and your ability to buy or sell in today’s market.
We advise that when you’re getting help with money, whether it’s insurance, real estate or investments, you should always look for someone with the heart of a teacher, not the heart of a salesman.
Do your research. Ask friends and family for recommendations of professionals they’ve worked with in the past. Look for members of your team who will be honest and trustworthy; after all, you will be trusting them to help you make one of the biggest financial decisions of your life.
Whether this is your 1st or 5th time buying or selling a home, you want to be sure that you have an agent who is going to have the tough conversations with you, not just the easy ones. If your offer isn’t accepted, or they think that there may be something wrong with the home you’ve fallen in love with, you would rather know what they think than make a costly mistake.
Look for someone to invest in your family’s future with you. You want an agent who isn’t just focused on the transaction & paycheck at the end but instead an agent focused on helping you understand the process while helping you find your dream home. If you’re selling, you want someone who understands the market, can help you effectively price your home and advise you on how to get top dollar. You also want someone with a proven marketing plan.
