SELECTING A REAL ESTATE AGENT

One of the most important steps in the home buying process is selecting a real estate agent. A real estate agent can make the home buying process smooth and stress-free for you. When looking for a real estate agent, be sure to interview a few and look for qualities like their market knowledge, availability, and your comfort level with them.

Market knowledge is an important quality to consider when selecting a real estate agent. They should know about the available homes on the market and how to get fast access to those homes. They should also have a good reputation and a good relationship with other real estate agents to better access homes around the area you are interested in.  

Another quality to consider is their availability. In a strong seller’s market like today, it is important to visit the property and place an offer right away. You do not want to be in a situation where your real estate agent is not available or delays showing properties. The real estate agent works for you, and you need them to be accommodating to the schedules.

Also, you must be able to feel comfortable with your real estate agent. You are sharing your financial details with them and taking one of the most important decisions of your life, and you want your real estate agent to be there for you through the process. The Comfort level grows with open communication, and you want to make sure your real estate agent is available for call/text/ email. Establishing this comfort zone will undoubtedly make the process a lot easier.

The real estate agent should be your one-stop-shop from your pre-qualification to keys in hand. Selecting a real estate agent is a personal and individualized decision.
