Why use a
REALTORŪ
Sure, you can
do your home search by yourself. But why? With an experienced Real
Estate agents at your side, finding the perfect home is easier,
faster and a lot more fun. A good RealtorŪ can show you more
suitable properties, offer valuable advice, and help you through the
entire home buying process. And you'll save time. Yet many buyers
still spend endless hours pouring through classified ads, driving
all over town, and viewing dozens of unsuitable properties - simply
because they haven't connected with a RealtorŪ.
Some people
think that if they have several agents looking for homes on their
behalf, they'll find a house more quickly. Like most relationships,
the buyer-agent relationship thrives on communication, loyalty and
trust. By working exclusively with one agent, you'll improve both
the process and the results.
Finding The Right
Real Estate Agent For You
Chemistry is
important. So are credentials. Above all, you'll want an experienced
agent who has the resources of a leading real estate firm behind him
or her-a firm such as Realty Executives
Some helpful
hints on finding and working with a RealtorŪ:
-
Ask friends, family members,
neighbors or co-workers for referrals.
-
Trust your intuition.
-
Share with your Sales Associate as
much as possible about your lifestyle, tastes, needs and dreams
for your home.
-
Focus your search on a few
geographic areas.
Plus ask him
or her some of the following questions:
How well do
you know the area(s) that interest me?
An agent who knows the area or neighborhood you are interested in is
extremely beneficial to you.
How many
other buyers and sellers do you currently represent?
You want an agent who will give you personalized attention, answer
your calls quickly and communicate with you often. Keep in mind,
though, many busy, experienced agents are the most efficient.
Will
you handle all aspects of my transaction or will you delegate some
tasks to an Administrative Assistant?
If you choose to work with a busy agent, a knowledgeable assistant
can be very helpful when you have questions or need immediate
attention.
Will you
give me a list of homes you sold in the last 12 months?
Contact some clients that have worked with the agent and ask them
about their experience. The list should contain addresses, property
types, names of sellers or buyers, sale dates and price. Ask for the
agent for testimonials from satisfied customers.
