Ask your friends and family if they know any real estate professionals. This is a great place to start because they are basing this referral off a good experience theyโve already had. If you are a new agent reading this article, be mindful of the power of referrals. New Realtors should leverage their connections to find new clients.
Interview at least 2 potential agents so that you can compare their business approaches. Every real estate agent runs their business differently. Ask them about their previous transactions and if theyโve ever been in a multiple offer situation. You should be able to get a good read on the way they handle transactions from these questions.
As always, use the internet to find a buyerโs agent. Give the agent a Google. Check out their business Facebook page or Instagram account. Look for certified reviews. Use the platform Real Satisfied to see if they have any previous client reviews. If you are an agent, you should send your clients a link to Real Satisfied after every transaction to get feedback! Use this feedback to either improve your credibility to a potential new client or hone your craft.
You should ask your potential agent about their communication expectations. Itโs great to be on the same page with your real estate representative right off the back. Let the agent know if you prefer to be texted, emailed, or called. Let your agent know your work schedule and when best times for showings. This will ensure communication and help create a plan of action.
Finally, go with your gut and pick an agent that you click with. You are going to be spending a lot of time with your real estate agent and you are entrusting them with a huge purchase. Make sure you pick someone that you like being around. Your real estate agent should be hard working and accountable. Hopefully they make your home-buying process a breeze.
