Is Your Realtor Your P.I.C?

It your realtor your PIC? Here's how you know!

Is Your Realtor Committed?

Your realtor??is your partner-in-crime when it comes to getting a great deal on real estate. Although you have access to more information in the housing market than ever, without the proper training to evaluate, filter and process that information, you are facing overload that will not help you seal a better deal.?Having a Realtor who can submit strong offers, negotiate, and put out fires before they even happen is a Realtor who's by your side!

The Golden Egg

There is really no such thing as "exclusivity" in a partnership with a realtor?; however, you will certainly get better service from a dedicated realtor??who knows that (s)he is your go to source for properties and information.??

Before you commit in this way, however, take a good look at the workload of your realtor??and the types of customers that (s)he services. You want someone who is committed to finding you the best deal not looking to skip corners.

Does your realtor? want you to give up your right to contingency clauses?

Speaking of not skipping corners, you should never do business with a realtor??who wants you to give up your right to review or fight conditions in order to "speed up the process." You will likely hear this from some realtor??or another in an attempt to make a quick sale of you. You must know that conditions are the most important part of your buying process, and they must be worked through.

What Makes Your Realtor Different?

There are certain certifications that realtors??can obtain to showcase mastery of your market niche. Ask about them.

For example, I have a background of digital marketing and personal networking resources of 13 year with certified home staging credentials. With this, you will increase your first time impression with your home buyers and guaranteed top marketing outside of competitors selling their homes when you work with me.

Does your agent represent you exclusively, or the buyer as well?

Realtors??earn more money when they represent the seller and buyer on a deal. Obviously, there is an incentive to make these deals work for the realtors?.?When realtors??represent the buyer and seller, things can go perfectly and work for all parties.?It can also be a mess.?Usually, I am working with a buyer, showing them everything on the market.??But when listing a home, I am exclusively representing the seller. No dual agency on my team.

Who Does Your Realtor Know?

Depending on your needs, you may want to seek out a realtor??with some clout where you lack it. For instance, if you are having trouble getting pre-approved, the right realtor??may be able to help you with this by knowing the mortgage broker landscape. If you are looking at purchasing a fixer-upper, your realtor??may have access to lower prices on home builder services that (s)he gets because of volume referrals.
