Real estate agents play an important role in your life, both if you are selling or buying a home. Real estate agents have a multitude of tasks that they perform in the process of both selling and buying. As you likely know by now, there are so many agents to choose from! It can become quite overwhelming. We will share some tips and tricks with you in choosing the right one for you and your family.
To start with, we would recommend that you ask everyone you know if they have any experience with real estate agents in the area you are wanting to purchase or sell a home in. This is helpful for both finding out someone you should possibly work with, but also someone to possibly stay away from. By asking questions about who to work with, you may come up with more ideas when it comes to questions to ask about the whole process.
This might seem incredibly obvious, but we do want to mention it…do not forget to do your research! The internet can be a wonderful place to start your journey. With many people and professionals being on social media lately, you can also get a good idea of someone’s personality from their social media pages. You might be able to figure out if you will get along with them or not.
Be sure to make a list of what is the most important to you and your family with working with a real estate agent. Not only should this have to do with what the agent specializes in, but also personality traits you are looking for. That might seem a little silly but is is very important as you will be spending a great deal of time with your agent. There are many things to keep in mind, so it really just comes down to what is the most important to you.
Like with many other decisions in life, sometimes you need to just go with your gut. If you have a bad feeling from someone upon initially meeting them, it might be for a reason. Gut does not decide everything, but it can surely say a lot!
