How To Select An Agent
All agents have different
personalities
and philosophies . . .
As with other professionals,
when you select a real estate
agent, demand high standards.
Make sure that trust and
integrity are not just a spoken
claim but granted by deserved
reputation in the community that
the agent serves.
Determine if the agent has
established a strong record
of consistently fulfilling
promises and providing customer
satisfaction. Consider the
agent’s educational training.
Is it appropriate? Does it
enhance the skills? Request a
summary of the agent’s
experience and review the
track record. |

Sample Questions:
1. Do you have references?
2. Do you have any professional
designations?
3. What recognition levels have
you achieved?
Agents all have different
personalities and philosophies. Try
to select one with a philosophy and
personality that you find agreeable
and who you can communicate with
easily.
Selecting
Your Agent
You should have confidence that the
person you select will be a trusted
advisor. It is imperative
that you work with an agent who you
feel has your best interests in
mind.
Excellent communication skills are a
must. Select an agent that you feel
will have the ability to work
cooperatively with sellers and other
agents during the entire process of
purchasing your property.
A good agent can be the foundation
of your real estate team. An agent
can help you find a home
that meets your needs, negotiate for
that home on your behalf, supervise
property inspections,
and coordinate the closing. Agents
often have useful leads for mortgage
loans. A good agent’s negotiating
skills and knowledge of property
values can save you thousands of
dollars.
