When embarking on your home-buying journey, it’s important you not only find a great real estate agent but that you find the right one for you.
Meeting with a few agents to find your best fit is perfectly acceptable! Below are some tips to help you find a great real estate agent.
Do Your Research and Planning
Begin researching the market area. If you don’t have an established budget yet, this is a great way to gather information about price points. Once you’ve established your budget and home type, you can begin searching for agents in the area you’re moving to. If you have friends or family in the area, ask them about their real estate agent! They can point you in the right direction.
Ask Them Questions
It’s important to ask questions to get to know your potential agent and assess if they are a good fit. Some questions to consider asking your potential real estate agent are:
- Are you a full-time or part-time agent?
- What’s your realistic timeline estimate?
- How long have you been an agent?
- What’s your preferred communication method?
- Do you have experience with the home type and price point I’m interested in?
- What’s your availability?
Their answers will let you know if they’ll be a good fit!
Be Honest With Them
Honesty is key to any relationship- and the relationship with your real estate agent is no exception! Let them know what you’re looking for, and be honest about areas you are willing to compromise in and areas you are not. Let them know if you feel they won’t be a good fit. They may be able to direct you to another agent more specialized in your area.
