Hiring a Real Estate Agent

If you intend to purchase a property, you probably have bought some things for it already. Maybe you walked into an open house or booked a private walk-through of a home after seeing a sign that reads, “For Sale” on a lawn.

These are things you can do by yourself (if you know what to do and have a bit of time). With that said, studies show that you’ll have more success getting the home of your dreams at a price you can afford when you hire a real estate agent to represent you.

The Real Estate Agent You Hire Has Your Best Interests at Heart

A real estate agent with an understanding of the local market (like me) can aid you in locating the home of your dreams. They can ensure that the whole process is a smooth transition. When you schedule a viewing, the real estate agent can tell you everything you need to know about the home so that you’ll know about all the ins-and-outs of it. The real estate agent can address some attractive aspects – in addition to problematic areas that might’ve gone under your radar.

A real estate agent can issue your offer to the seller and negotiate terms for you. Without a real estate agent, you’ll need to deal with the seller’s representative directly. That agent will not have your best interests in mind – he will be doing what’s best for the seller.

A real estate agent will make sure things go your way during the entire process. That’s exactly what you can expect when you hire me.

What to Expect from a Quality Real Estate Agent

When you’re purchasing a property, you need a real estate agent that does the following:

• Makes time to learn about your objectives and requirements, making you feel like you have a partner in this endeavor.
• Tells you everything you need to know in an easy-to-understand way and addresses your queries (so that you’re abreast of fundamental details).
• Has experience in the local market with an established success record.
• Understands how to locate suitable homes that you can afford.
• Will keep you updated about listings that pop up on the market right away (so you can get to them before others).
• Will suggest an ideal price for a property you have your eye on.
• Put together an offer and present it to a seller, as well as expertly negotiate closing dates, conditions, prices, and more, for the sake of securing a deal.
• Is able to stop you from wasting money so that you get the home you desire without overpaying for it.
• Will refer you to various professionals – including moving companies and home inspectors – that you might need.

Not all real estate agents provide the services I do. Past clients of mine have expressed their appreciation of my accessibility, experience, and professionalism.

What to Do Next

The most optimal approach to choosing a suitable real estate agent is by speaking with them directly. Make queries. See how compatible the two of you are.
