Choosing A Real Estate Agent
Buying a property requires making many important financial decisions, understanding complex issues and completing a lot of paperwork. It helps to have an expert in your corner when undertaking such a large purchase. We can guide you through the entire process - from finding your home, smoothly opening and successfully closing escrow and beyond.
​
Here are some factors to consider when choosing your real estate professional:
​
-
Find an agent affiliated with the National Association of Realtors and the California Association of Realtors. Look for a full time agent - do not risk your large investment by choosing someone who does real estate "on the side".
-
Interview a few agents. Are they familiar with the area in which you are interested?
-
Ask how much time the agent will have for you and who can assist you if the agent in not readily available.
-
Ask about their credentials and education. A good agent will continually strive to improve and gain knowledge of the latest real estate trends and hold the highest designations in their respective fields of expertise.
-
Does the agent return your calls promptly? Time is money when attempting to buy a property.
-
Ask for a list of references.
-
Choose an agent who listens attentively to your needs and concerns. Pick an agent with whom you feel comfortable.
