Choose 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 this process, and also provide you with access to property listings before they hit the general market.

Here are some factors to consider when choosing your real estate professional:

• Look for a full-time agent – one who has experience completing transactions similar to yours. You will be asked to sign a Buyers Agreement with this important person who will represent you as a Fiduciary.
• 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 if they are available at night and on weekends. Will you be dealing directly with the agent you select or be handed off to one of their team members.
• How many Buyers do they work with at the same time and price point? Ensure you will receive focused attention to your needs.
• Does the agent return your calls promptly? Time is money when attempting to buy a property.
• Ask for a list of properties they have sold or a list of references.
• Choose an agent who listens attentively to your needs and concerns. Pick an agent, with whom you feel comfortable.
