How to Pick a Realtor
What should you look for when selecting a Realtor?
Hey, I’m Steve Smith, of Irish Realty, and today I’m going to run down five things you should consider when selecting your Realtor.
Number one! Relationship. Find somebody you feel like you can trust; be sure to spend some time with them, asking questions about what’s important to you, and make sure that they’re a good listener. Ensuring that you have similar values and understandings of your goals and objectives.
Number two! Local market knowledge. You want somebody that’s been in and around the community for years and has experienced buying and selling homes of the type we have in your area. Find somebody who’s been in the business for a while who knows a lot about the process so they can add value to you.
Number Three! Communication skills. The number one complaint people have about their realtor is that they don’t communicate well or often enough. Find somebody with good systems and processes in place who anticipates your needs and communicates vigorously.
Number Four! Professionalism. People who take real estate seriously as a career are going to offer you the most value for your dollar. Those of us that have been in the business a long time have studied, learned and gained valuable experience that we can pass on to you.
Number Five! Reputation. Ask your friends and neighbors who they’ve had a good experience with, it makes sense to take a personal recommendation when finding a real estate professional that’s going to be great for you.
