Finding the Right Real Estate Agent Can Change Your Whole Home Buying or Selling Experience




What if I told you that you could be making a very expensive mistake by hiring just any old Realtor®? The truth is that the agent you choose to work with, is probably one of the most important aspects in all your decisions to be made when buying or selling a home. Here are just a few of the things to consider when you are looking for the right Realtor®.

Proven Track Record for Success
Does your real estate agent have a solid track record with proven results for what they claim they are producing? I bring you years of experience in the real estate and mortgage industry that translate to many satisfied clients, including a lot that I’m working with now. Be sure to check with your prospective agent for a recent list of clients they are working with so you can check that track record.

Experience, Expertise and Knowledge
It is so easy to obtain a real estate license in most states and the truth is that many people get a license without quitting their day job. Do you want someone that is dedicating their entire work day (and more) to real estate or do you prefer someone that is only willing to give this career a few hours per week? With my 19 years of service in this industry, I have gained a lot of knowledge over the years and with that the expertise that comes with working with countless clients. It’s important to find out how many years an agent has been operating in the business and how much of their day do they devote to their career.

Ability to Connect With Clients
Nothing is more valuable than the ability to understand and connect with clients. This holds particularly true in the business of real estate. Whether selling a home or buying a home, you need to rest assured that your agent understands your priorities and unless they take the time to truly connect with you and listen to your needs – it is not always possible. One of my greatest achievements in this business has been the amazing relationships I have developed with my clientele.

Marketing and Outreach
We all know the goal at hand when selling a home is to sell it quickly and for the best price possible. Rather than just chase after listings, I only want to help you sell your home when you’re ready. I institute a complex system of using social media with other marketing methods that gets the job done. At the end of the day, you are paying a commission to have your home sold and the last thing you want to have happen is your agent is only concerned with that commission.
