How To Choose A Real Estate Agent

January 14, 2015 by Eric Lowry Leave a Comment

How To Choose A Real Estate Agent

How to choose a real estate agentWhen choosing to buy or sell a home, it is a good idea to hire a real estate agent to represent your best interests. Here are a few tips on how to choose a real estate agent.

References – Talk with the real estate agent’s recent clients. Find out what they thought about the home buying or selling experience with that agent. If you are planning on listing your home for sale, ask what the sale price was in comparison to the list price and how long the house was on the market.

Licensure – You can verify the agent’s licensure with the state. At the state level you can also check to see if there have been any complaints or disciplinary actions taken against an agent.

Designations – Choose a real estate agent whose designations align directly with your needs. For example, if you are a senior citizen, choose a real estate agent that has a SRES designation. This real estate agent has completed training to work specifically with senior citizens. Other designations include agents that work specifially with residential real estate (CRS) and those that work with buyers (ABR).

Experience – Find out how long the real estate agent has been in the business. In addition to years of experience, discover whether or not the agent has experience in the area and type of property you are interested in.

Communication – It is imperative that the lines of communication are always open when buying or selling a  home. Timeliness can make a difference between whether a contract comes together or not. Talk with the potential real estate agent and agree on the best method for the two of you to communicate in the quickest manner possible. 

We hope these tips on how to choose a real estate agent were helpful. Please share this information with friends and family that may be interested.
