When you’re buying or selling a home, it’s crucial to work with a qualified real estate agent. So how do you ensure you’re hiring an amazing real estate agent? According to the National Association of Realtors®, trust and reputation are the top deciding factors consumers use when hiring an agent.
But how do you measure trust and reputation ... and what criteria can be used to help you make your decision?
1. A Pricing Specialist: Whether buying or selling a home, pricing can be tricky. We can help navigate best-possible pricing strategies, and also secure the home you want within your budget.
2. An Effective Time Manager: Even a well-intentioned agent may not have the skills, tools or technology to make the experience easy for you. There are lots of hidden activities that may take up unexpected time, and we will save you time and energy
3. A Market Insider: An experienced real estate agent is often the best source of information about a city, neighborhood, or even street … we’re literally conducting market research every day.
4. A Strong Negotiator: Working with us will help ensure you get the best deal on your terms, not just the fastest deal.
5. An Effective Closer: Real estate transactions often involve a significant investment, so even a small mistake can mean serious trouble. With that in mind, it’s best to work with a true market expert.
