Tell-Tale Signs of Unreliable Real Estate Agent

In every form of business, trust and respect will always be the core values of each transaction. Similar to real estate, each transaction to be done must be in line with trust and respect, for, without it, transactions to be made will be a problematic one.

Such values are more important to any person of authorities involved in real estate. A real estate agent, for example, should embody certain values and integrity for his presence to be felt and acknowledged in the industry. It is not just skills that matter in this kind industry, a character is also of great importance. That is why in the following article of Trulia via Forbes, it highlighted some things that a respectable real estate agent should avoid uttering:

7 Things Your Real Estate Agent Should Never Say

"You don't need a home inspection"

As in, don't have anyone look over the house to make sure it's OK to live in? Yeah, that's a major red flag. No matter what type of home you're buying - a condo, townhome, duplex, single-family - always, always get an inspection. "Every buyer has the right to have a home inspection," says Rachel Hillman.

"I don't do email"

Sure, they may be one of the kindest agents in town, but if they resist the use of technology when it comes to communicating with you and sending documents (especially if it's your preferred method of communication), you should be concerned.  Read original post...

Those are some of the words that an agent must avoid telling his clients. It does need to be precise, but the thought of the matter is about respect and integrity. As a truly concerned agent, you should go an extra mile and cater even the simplest detail of the transaction. 

And from a client's perspective, hearing those words or similar thought should be a tell-tale sign of your real estate agent's personality. So be very careful to whom you give your trust, especially on important matters like real estate.
