Tip 5: Selecting
a Real Estate Agent
If
you're considering buying or selling a home, selecting a real estate agent is
the first important decision you will have to make. While there are many
qualified real estate agents out there, it's important to decide on a
professional who will understand your needs and individual preferences, someone
who you can respect and trust. Nearly four out of five homebuyers and sellers
enlist in the help of a real estate professional or broker. Whether you're
looking to buy a new home or sell the one you're in, choosing a professional
who best fits your needs is vital. Here are some questions to consider when
choosing an agent:
·
How
long have they been a real estate professional?
·
Do
they work full or part time?
·
How
long have they been working in this particular area?
·
What
type of homes do they usually handle?
·
How
much of their business comes from repeat customers or referrals?
·
How
many homes did they sell last year?
·
How
often can you expect to be updated, regardless of any progress?
Above
all you should choose an agent that you feel comfortable with. Your real estate
professional will be your guide through the entire process of buying or selling
a home, and can be a valuable resource. Make sure that whomever you select is
well suited to your demands.
