In the United States, there are over a million licensed real estate professionals, although only a relatively small percentage of them are responsible for the vast majority of closed transactions. So, whether you’re looking to sell your home or you’re a qualified, potential buyer, it’s wise to choose your agent carefully, based on your personal best interests and, after interviewing them, feeling that they have the right combination of attitude, aptitude, skills, persistence, professionalism and experience to meet your needs, objectives and priorities! After more than 15 years as a licensed real estate seller in New York State, I am a firm believer in these 6 Things You Should Require of Your Hire. With that in mind, this article will attempt to briefly consider, examine, review, and discuss what this means and represents, and why it is important.
1. Integrity: The real estate professional you choose must consistently exhibit absolute integrity! To serve and represent you, you need and deserve someone you feel safe in, who you can constantly rely on, in good times, or less!
two. Loyalty: Almost every state, as well as the Realtor Board states, includes a Code of Ethics, regarding the conduct required of a real estate agent, to their clients and clients, etc.! One of the key components is due to a client complete loyalty and privacy protection of her etc. Your chosen professional must consistently put you first and never provide any information that could harm or compromise your interests (however, this does not mean breaking the law and/or providing any material incorrectness!)
3. Tell them what they need to know: My service – marking, slogan, is, I will always tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. You need and deserve someone to inform you, in a realistic way, instead of wearing rose-colored glasses.
Four. Prepare for the client: Agents owe it to their clients the preparation and willingness to fully and consistently prepare them for potential possibilities in order to make this process as stress-free as possible! When one prepares their clients properly, the transaction period becomes easier.
5. Negotiation experience: One of the reasons to hire a specific agent is their degree of negotiation experience, in order to achieve the best price, in the shortest possible time, with the minimum of hassle! This requires the individual to have a thorough understanding and knowledge of the local real estate market etc.
6, Handling details: The transaction period is often fraught with challenges and requires managing the details effectively and efficiently on a constant basis!
