If you are looking for a Buyer's Agent, there are several key factors that you should consider: their knowledge and experience and their abilities.
You want an agent that understands your needs, and has:
- high ethical standards
- the ability to guide you to make decisions without pressure tactics
- a detail-oriented work style and the experience you need
- valuable connections and information
- extensive knowledge about the areas they service
- the knowledge to utilize the MLS thoroughly, and list in the MLS if you are selling also
- the expertise to search all available avenues for property available for you
NOT all “Real Estate Agents” are REALTORS®
In many states, it is not a requirement to be a Realtor® to hold a Real Estate License. However, there are many differences between those who are and are not Realtors®.
I am a Realtor. I am a member of the National Association of Realtors (go to the www.NAR.com site for more information). I follow a strict code of ethics and standards of practice. (You can view the Code of Ethics). Realtors have more training and most are dedicated to the Real Estate Profession as a full time job. As a result, Realtors follow practices that give them the edge to perform at a higher level of standards directly benefitting you.
Higher standards of Realtors® result in higher sales prices for their sellers and smoother transactions with the terms and conditions you want for their buyers..
Every buyer wants the best sales price and yet still have their offer accepted. A Realtor will help you attain this goal and work with you through every step of the way to make it happen.
So, one of the wisest choices you can make is to utilize a Realtor® in buying your next home.
Professional Agents have the edge you need.
Professional Agents have the technology.
In today's fast paced market, most potential clients now start their search on the Internet. A strong Internet presence is a must, but Internet presence alone is not enough. The methods used for networking between offices and other agents allows the largest number of potential agents, buyers and sellers to have direct access to newly available information and properties.
So choosing a professional Realtor will ensure that you have the highest level of technology available to you to meet your real estate needs.
