WORKING WITH A REALTOR

 

The home buying process can be complicated and intimidating- I am here to help! I want to make the process enjoyable by bringing clarity, expertise and professional service to you. 

 

Seven main roles of your real estate agent

 

A Buyer's Real Estate Agent:

 

• Educates you about your market.

• Analyzes your wants and needs.

• Guides you to homes that fit your criteria.

• Coordinates the work of other needed professionals.

• Negotiates on your behalf.

• Checks and double-checks paperwork and deadlines.

• Solves any problems that may arise.

 

Eight important questions to ask your agent

 

Qualifications are important. However, finding a solid, professional agent means getting beyond the resume, and into what makes an agent effective. Use the following questions as your starting point in hiring your licensed, professional real estate agent:

 

• Why did you become a real estate agent?

• Why should I work with you?

• What do you do better than other real estate agents?

• What process will you use to help me find the right home for my particular wants and needs?

• What are the most common things that go wrong in a transaction and how would you handle them?

• What are some mistakes that you think people make when buying their first home?

• What other professionals do you suggest we work with and what are their credentials?
