Here’s what you should look for when selecting your Realtor©
The top real agents:
1) Are up-to-date with market conditions, inventory and comparable sales. Your Realtor should be totally familiar with the latest sales activity and market trends in your specific market segment.
2) Know how to take advantage of market conditions. Whether the market favors buyers, sellers or the status quo, you want a broker who knows how to make current market conditions work for you.
3) Understand your needs and goals. Be sure to select a Realtor who understands what you expect to accomplish with your sale or purchase.
4) Act in your best interest. The only agenda a Realtor should have is yours.
5) Create a relationship of trust. Look for a Realtor who is a good communicator and adheres to the highest professional standards.
6) Provide guidance and offer options. Work with a Realtor who you are certain has an appreciation of your particular circumstances and will take the time to help you through the decision-making process.
7) Are respected by their peers. You need a Realtor that other brokers want to work with.
8) Have a resource network of professionals. A Realtor who has solid working relationships with stagers, contractors, lenders, appraisers, and attorneys is in the best position to facilitate your transaction.
9) Anticipate potential problems. Reduce the risk of losing a deal by engaging a Realtor who strategizes to avoid, or contain, problems that can ruin a deal.
10) Skillfully negotiate to bring both buyer and seller together for mutual benefit. A savvy Realtor knows that the most satisfying deals are those in which both parties feel gainful.
