Choosing a Realtor can feel like a daunting task, and I’m sure you are going to get a lot of “advice” from friends. Here are a few quick tips on choosing a Realtor that will help you achieve your goals.
While you may want to use a family member or friend to help you, be sure that person is the right Realtor for the job. The right Realtor can help you make the most money and assist in purchasing your dream home. Choosing the wrong Realtor could be a very costly mistake.
First and foremost, hire a Realtor who you trust. A real estate transaction can be very complicated, requiring you to make a lot of decisions. You want to work with a Realtor who you trust to guide you smoothly through the process. It’s their job to help you make the decisions that are best for your unique circumstances.
In addition, hire an agent who knows the local communities and town. In some neighborhoods, a difference in location can add or detract from your value. You want to ensure you work with a Realtor who understands the nuances of your community and town.
Finally, be sure to hire an agent who is a strong negotiator. Many items are negotiated in a contract in addition to the price. You want to be sure you are strongly represented in these negotiations.
There are many other factors to consider when choosing a Realtor which I will expand upon in upcoming blogs, or feel free to contact me to learn more.
