Signs You've Found the Right Real Estate Agent
Is it time to buy, sell or invest?
Many homeowners will agree, working with the right real estate agent can truly make all the difference when navigating the local market. If you’re currently looking for an agent, or you think you’ve found the right one, there are a number of tell-tale signs that you’ve made a great decision!
In this article, we take a closer look at the top five signs that you have found the right real estate agent for your needs, wants and goals!
You Get Along
Whether buying, selling or investing, you’re bound to spend numerous hours with your real estate agent. It’s important that you are able to get along with, and genuinely like them, for a few reasons!
The process of buying or selling property can be a significant time in your life. It’s important that you navigate this alongside a realtor that you genuinely enjoy being around. This can help to improve the overall quality and positivity of the experience.
Not to mention that if you get along well with your realtor, you’re much more likely to genuinely trust them and their advice!
They Are Resilient
Navigating your local real estate market is often far from a linear process. There will likely be enjoyable and positive experiences, alongside bumps in the road. What’s important is that your real estate agent acts with integrity and resilience, never giving up on you or your goals.
Better yet, their resilience can leave you feeling inspired to keep moving forward, even in the most frustrating, stressful or disheartening of times!
Great Communication
Never underestimate the importance of great communication!
The real estate market moves fast. Very, very fast. Your real estate agent must have great communication skills and be easily accessible in order for you to maintain success throughout this process.
Everything can change in an instance. It’s absolutely imperative to have a real estate agent that won’t leave you hanging, especially during such a significant transaction. One that can undoubtedly impact your overall quality of life and future!
They Take a Proactive Approach
The right real estate agent will work hard for you. With a proactive approach, they will always be on the lookout for the right property for you to view, meeting with professionals to help market your property, and everything in between.
If you have to send your real estate agent listings or constantly ask them for updates, chances are that they are taking more of a reactive approach, rather than proactive. In an industry where time is of the essence, you may want to look for another agent who will better prioritize your needs with a proactive approach.
They’re Honest
In real estate, honestly truly is the key to success.
If your property isn’t gaining traction or you’re constantly being outbid, you may need some honest advice from the perspective of an industry expert. If your real estate agent is sugar coating the truth or beating around the bush, they are doing you a disservice, as well as themselves.
Having a real estate agent that delivers the truth in a kind, respectful and professional manner is key to your success - especially when looking to buy, sell or invest in our current market.
