To buy or sell a house may mean that you may need to seek help from a real estate agent to represent you and your terms. As a buyer or a seller you must be able to spot the qualities of a good real estate agent in order to help you with picking the right one.
However, if you already have a real estate agent to work for you, here are some of the traits, according to Realty Times, that they must have to be the right real estate agent for you.
He communicates with you and is responsive to your needs.
Know that as one of their clients, your agent needs to be responsive to your needs and terms. He must be able to communicate with you despite his busy schedule. If he keeps on sending excuses as to not responding your queries, then know that he is not the right one.
As much as they are good at sales talk, they need to listen to you.
If your agent listens to you attentively and proactively, then he will do his best to get you the best deal there is. He will most likely ask you questions regarding the terms and conditions that you would want and would see how to accommodate those into the options he has.
They are client-oriented.
Although a real estate agent may earn from the commission from the sale he makes, he must always keep in mind his client’s needs. If he thinks that there is better option for his client than what the latter wants, the agent lets him know.
They must work professionally.
A real estate agent must be professional in all aspects. He must be organized, punctual (or at least won’t let you wait an hour), and would not leave you hanging. When he will miss your appointment due to unforeseen circumstances, he should let you know ahead of time.
These are some of the traits you need to spot on your real estate agent to know whether is the right one or not. If all of these are not in his character, then you should think twice why you hired him.
Are there any other tips you can add in order to know if one has picked the right real estate agent?
