Look for an Agent
The relationship between a home buyer and their agent must be based on trust and understanding. It is trusted that the agent will work to protect the interests of their clients. Prior to committing to an agent ensure they have:
• an understanding of your needs
• a willingness to work with you until your needs are met
• a sense of professionalism
• dedication to their profession
• familiarity with the area and price range you are interested in
• strong references
Some good questions to ask are:
• How long have you been in the Real Estate field?
• Are you a full-time agent?
• Are you familiar with this area?
• How many home sales did you participate in last year?
• Do you normally work with sellers or buyers?
• How many buyers are you presently working with? How many sellers?
• What do you think your strengths are?
• What three buyers that you have worked with can you give me as references?
