Why You Need To Be Able To Trust Your Real Estate Agent
As a real estate agent, I’m well aware of the lack of respect some buyers and sellers have for our profession.
Sometimes their scepticism is for good reason. There are agents that have done a great disservice to both their own reputation and the reputation of real estate agents generally, through using underhanded tactics, telling their vendors and buyers half-truths or even stretching to outright lies.
But, in more than 20 years in the profession, I can safely say that while these kinds of agents do exist, they make up only a very small minority. Most agents simply aren’t like that. And the best ones will always tell it straight, even if you don’t want to hear it.
So, as a vendor, how do you tell if your real estate agent is trustworthy, or one of the bad few?
