You’ve made the decision: You’re going to buy/sell your home this fall. You know you don’t have the time to take care of the many details of the new home search, or marketing your property to potential buyers, scheduling the inspection, following up with the mortgage company, or the title company – all players involved in the real estate transaction.
You want to work with a realtor. So how do you choose one? Interviews can help you determine their qualifications and give you insight to their personality. Or you can obtain a referral from someone you trust. Below are attributes you want to look for in your realtor:
1) Speaks honestly and candidly; without exaggeration. Is open-minded and does not jump to conclusions.
2) Brings objectivity to the real estate process because they do not have an emotional attachment to the property.
3) Is a good listener and asks questions; can see things from your point of view.
4) Has your best interest at heart and is able to accommodate your schedule.
5) Keeps their word and follows through. Consistently do what they say they will do and when they will do it.
6) Quickly responds to inquiries and questions.
7) Is organized and delivers results. Works with you in all aspects of the real estate transaction.
8) Predictable, reliable quality of service.
