95256163A real estate agent is an important individual to a buyer or a seller. Owning a home is a major investment for most people. It is for this reason that most people will look for a real estate agent who will help them maximize on their investment. You need to research to get the right real estate agent for you. Discussed below are 10 tips that will enable you to choose the right real estate agent.

Contact Recent Clients

Look for agents who have who have sold in the last year and ask them to give you a list with the clients’ contacts. Before you proceed to make any call, ask the agent if the clients would be willing to give you the information you need. Some clients may be disappointed or too pleased. You could ask the clients if they were satisfied with the services they got from the real estate agent. If you are a seller, you need to know if the agent has sold properties with the same features as yours.

Seek a Professional

In the real estate sector, the words agent, realtor and broker are used for similar purposes. However, you have to bear in mind that not all agents and brokers are realtors. The term realtor specifically applies to a real estate professional who is a member of the National Association of Realtors. These people have a code of ethics which they abide to so you they will handle everything in a professional manner.

Assess their Experience

If you are looking for a realtor to help you buy or sell a property, you need to enquire for how long they have been involved in the sector.

Choose an Understanding Realtor

An understanding realtor views himself as the client who is either the buyer or the seller. Look for an agent who is keen on listening to your needs and wants. Some realtors are so focused on making a sale such that they ignore your needs. You should also choose a real estate agent who will not push you to accept what you do not want.

Think Locally

Look for realtors who are familiar with the location of your property. If you are a buyer, the realtor should provide you with a list of the social amenities found within that particular location. This is because you have to check if the location of the property fits into your lifestyle. If you are looking to sell, the realtor should be in a position of talking to potential buyers regarding these things.

The Real Estate Agent Should be Tech Savvy

An aggressive real estate agent should market your house and enable it to gain competitive advantage over the other properties. The real estate agent should be able to use the Web to market the property. Before you choose the agent, examine their Web marketing strategies. You need high quality photos and videos of your property which will appeal to potential buyers.
