BUYING A HOME

Why should you use a realtor... The two most important reasons to use a buyer’s representative are protection and efficiency. The seller has a realtor to provide expertise advice throughout the transaction, don’t you want the same services? According to NAR (National Association of Realtors) research, buyers who work with a realtor find their homes quicker, while viewing more properties in their search, than buyers who do not engage the services of a buyer’s representative.

REALTOR COMPARISON

#1: Know Their Niche. Areas of interest, specialization, price range and focus vary widely. Most agents have a niche.

#2: Find a Clear Communicator. It’s important for all parties to be clear about expectations. Ask a lot of questions. Tell them what you need and what you expect. Find a Realtor who is happy to answer questions and explain the plan, process and protocols.

#3: Look for a Good Listener. A good Realtor will listen carefully and be responsive to specific needs. Watch for over-zealous salespeople who try to show property just to close a sale, whether it’s a good fit or not.

#4: Hold Out for Good Rapport. Look for a balance of professionalism, experience and style. Most people want a “mover and shaker” who gets out there, shows a lot of homes, return calls promptly, reports progress, has connections and is well-known and respected in their field. Some prefer an assertive agent who’ll leave no stone unturned.
