3 Tips for Finding a Good Real Estate Agent

One of the most important parts of buying or selling a home is finding good representation. Trust and reliability is a big issue in problems with the Real Estate Agent you choose. Many times people have little to no trust in them and hold information back or lose communication with them. Realizing that this person is going to represent you and quite possibly your home is something to keep in mind when you are choosing one that is right for you.

Below are 3 tips to get you started:

Tip 1: Personality- Now many of you probably say what does this have to do with Real Estate? Well when it comes to finding an Agent it could have a lot. The Real Estate Agent you chose will be in charge of the sale of your home- or helping you find one that is right for your family. This is a big responsibility. It also means you will be spending a lot of time talking and working closely with this person. Making sure you can act civil together is a big part of finding an Agent.

Tip 2: Referrals & Credentials: Ask around about the Agents you are looking at. Make sure you get the skinny on them before you even contact them. Look up their credentials. Ask them about where they went to school. How much education they received, etc. If they hesitate to answer or give you the run around take it as a hint...!

Tip 3: Commissions & Cost: find out how much their cut is if they sell the house. Ask them what they have made in the past. Make sure you can afford to work with them. Do they charge extra for costs of open houses, placing ads, etc...and once again if they hesitate to tell you...maybe you should take it as a sign to look elsewhere.

Remember if you are buying your first, third, or 52nd home the Real Estate Agent is working for you. And if you are selling your home they are definitely working for you. Make sure they contact you on all decisions and you have a say in what does or doesn't happen with your home. Finding a good agent is sometimes difficult and time consuming but well worth it in the end. Remember to take note of the words used when speaking with them and initially their attitude toward you! You don't want to deal with it later in your transactions. Your exhausting search can be the best investment you ever made!
