What Should You Expect From Your Realtor?
You’ve made the decision: You’re going to buy or sell your home this fall.
You know you don’t have the time to take care of the many details of the new home search, or marketing your property to potential buyers if you are selling it, scheduling the inspection, following up with the mortgage company, and the title company – all players involved in the real estate transaction – to get to a successful closing.
You know you want to work with a realtor. So how do you choose one? (Now is the perfect time to start the process if you are looking to buy or sell your home this fall.)
Interviews can help you determine their qualifications and give you insight into their personality. Or, you can obtain a referral from someone you trust.
Below are our recommendations of the
Attributes You Want to Look for in Your Realtor
1) Speaks honestly and candidly; without exaggeration.
2) Is open-minded and does not jump to conclusions.
3) Brings objectivity to the real estate process because they do not have an emotional attachment to the property.
4) Is a good listener and asks questions; can see things from your point of view.
5) Has your best interest at heart.
6) Is able to accommodate your schedule.
7) Keeps their word and follows through. He or She consistently does what they say they will do and when they will do it.
8) Quickly responds to your inquiries and questions.
9) Is organized and delivers results. Works with you in all aspects of the real estate transaction.
10) Predictable, reliable quality of service.
