5 Signs You've Found the Perfect Real Estate Agent
Are you in the market for a real estate agent?
Having the right real estate agent on your team can truly make all the difference. Buying and/or selling your home isn’t something that you do every day, which is why it is so important to have a seasoned professional to guide and support you throughout the process.
Have you found the perfect real estate agent who can meet your every need? Here are five signs you’ve made a fantastic decision.
1. They Have Outstanding Reviews
Reviews and testimonials can tell you a lot about a brand, service or product. So, why would a real estate agent be any different?
If you have been referred to a real estate agent by a family member or friend, you may not feel the need to ask for referrals or explore testimonials online. Otherwise, it may be wise to ask the real estate agent to provide you with a reference.
By reading a review online, watching a video testimonial or directly connecting with a reference, you can learn more about the experience that the real estate agent can provide you with and determine if they are the right fit for you.
2. They’re Honest
A good real estate agent will always provide you with honesty and transparency. Even when it’s not exactly what you’re hoping to hear. Based on their years of experience and knowledge of the industry, they will be able to provide you with an unbiased opinion as you navigate through the buying or selling process.
With 15+ years of experience in the industry, Lisa Cox Real Estate understands just how important honesty is. We’re proud to maintain relationships with our clients based on transparency, respect and a commitment to always being upfront and realistic.
3. Strong Core Values
At the end of the day, your real estate agent should always have your best interests at heart. The ideal real estate agent will have select core values, ones that, more often than not, will align with yours.
At Lisa Cox Real Estate, we’re proud to uphold the following values:
Honesty
Transparency
Empathy
Punctuality
Hard work ethic
Having a relationship with your real estate agent that is built on trust and respect is extremely important. As your main point of contact and source of guidance, it’s important that your values align with one another.
4. They’re Responsive
When it comes to the purchase and sale of a house, time is always of the essence.
The importance of having a real estate agent who is accessible and responsive can’t be emphasized enough. While the frequency of your communication will depend on exactly where you are in the buying and selling process, they should stay in regular contact with you and be accessible when the clock is ticking.
If your real estate agent is showing signs of unreliability, they are not following up with you or they are difficult to contact in the very beginning, it may be wise to move forward with another agent.
5. You Have Chemistry
You will be spending a lot of time with your real estate agent. Whether it’s a phone call, email or in-person meeting, having chemistry with your realtor can truly make all the difference to your overall experience.
Being able to connect and communicate with your real estate agent can help you to build trust within one another, enhancing the overall experience.
While we do agree that at the end of the day, having a knowledgeable agent who works hard and has your best interests at heart is the most important thing, having chemistry with your agent can truly be the difference between finding a great agent and the perfect agent.
