What Makes a Good Real Estate Agent?

People who find themselves confronted with the need to purchase or sell a home usually come to the conclusion that they will need to employ the services of a licensed real estate professional. Presuming that over the years a buyer or seller has not fostered a relationship with an agent with whom they’d prefer to work, the following list of criteria may help you decide on the right agent for you.

Professional in demeanor and attire

Knowledgeable about the geographical area where you’re interested in buying or selling

Strong business acumen

Understands your exact needs through careful questioning and note taking

Has a presence which is respected by fellow agents

Works in your best interest at all times

 Is completely comfortable with the technical aspects of the job – is computer savvy

 Knows the contracts inside-and-out and can explain them to you in a way that makes sense

 Someone who “gets” you and you can relate to on a personal level

Provides quality communication throughout the process

Finally, someone who appreciates deadlines, follow-up, and an intense attention to detail because real estate is nothing if not about that

In my years of practice I pride myself and my team in adhering to these qualities. Your overall satisfaction is our greatest focus. Having been in business for many years, I hold a very high bar for performance for me personally and for my team as well. You will always get your calls answered, emails return, and proactively learn about the process of your sale or purchase, even if there is nothing to report. So, if what you’ve just read makes sense to you, give me a call – I would love the chance to meet you!
