What to Look For in A RealtorIn buying or selling a home, picking the right real estate agent is critical. Your realtor will be representing you, providing counsel, and performing negotiations on your behalf. A great realtor will help you remain objective and help you understand local market conditions. Finding a realtor with the perfect balance between professionalism, customer service, experience, knowledge, and skill can help make the daunting task of buying or selling your home less stressful. But how do you select the right agent for you and your needs? See what our past clients have to say about our service. Communication and Attention These days, to successfully sell your home, you need an agent who is attentive, will listen to what you need and desire in your next home, and will be proactive in finding you what you want. Find a realtor who will listen to you. Is the realtor asking you about what you want, or are they just going to try and sell you what they have? Remember that realtors are salespeople who work on commission; often they will try to encourage you to purchase a more expensive home than you might want if you can afford it. Your agent should listen carefully to you, asking questions about that to find the perfect home to suit your needs. Can you get ahold of your realtor? Be sure to find an agent who will be readily available to you to contact through numerous platforms - especially on the phone, or by email. Working with someone who returns your calls and emails in a timely manner will give you peace of mind and be less stressful overall. If your realtor says they are "too busy" to return your call or email within 24 hours, they are definitely too busy to be representing you. Remember that selling your home may take several months. Your realtor should be active in promoting your home - and in finding your new home. They should call or email you with updates, and should make suggestions about your home's listing price, and advise you on how to improve your home and make it more desirable. Expertise Where is their office? Are they familiar in the area you're interested in? How many homes have they bought or sold in the area in the past year? How many properties in the area do they currently have under contract? How many homes have they sold that are similar to yours? The realtor you choose must know about the specific area where you are planning to buy or to sell. You are looking for a person that will be a specialist in your market. Do not hesitate to ask after their statistics and reports about sales in your area. While often most realtors focus on many areas throughout the Lower Mainland, they should at least offer to research the area you are interested in if they aren't familiar. If they don't, look elsewhere. An agent with multiple, consistent sales in a specific area has market insight that can save you money and settle you happily in a new home. Your realtor should know the neighborhood's history, they should be able to tell you what the average home in the neighborhood has sold for, and they should be able to explain why some homes are valued at higher or lower prices. Look for a realtor who knows the neighborhood, or is willing to do the research about the neighborhood and can tell you the following: what school districts are good, any zoning restrictions, which hospitals are close, any public transportation and commuting alternatives, and any recreation and shopping options. Trust Always talk to more than one real estate agent before making a decision. Keep in mind that you will be working with this individual for several months, so it is of the utmost importance to be compatible; realtors must be trusted by their clients in order to be effective and do their jobs well. A good realtor will work tirelessly on your behalf and will have a proven track record. You should feel comfortable with them. Reputation Check out your agent - see if they have any testimonials, or ask if you can get names and contact information for their past and current clients. Contact these past and current clients and get feedback. Ask to review multiple listing service (MLS) reports on your realtor's sales. Questions to Ask How will the agent sell your home, and where will your home be listed? Will there be an open house? Asking these questions will help you get an idea of how your home will be marketed, and how effective their strategy may be. What are all the costs, and what will they entail? Get any quotes in writing before you start working with a realtor to ensure that you are paying for what you agreed to. How long does it usually take to find new home options for a client? This will allow you to gauge your realtor's efficiency. While some clients can take longer than others, a good realtor should listen to your needs and be quick to assemble appropriate options. |
