What should you expect from a Real Estate Agent? Read below for some of my thoughts on agents' duties and qualities critical in the housing market today.
Your Buying Agent Should:
- Discuss with you particular home features you are looking for, to learn which ones are musts and which ones you would be willing to compromise on
- Share with you knowledge of the neighborhoods you are interested in
- Be actively looking for houses and send all new listings you might be interested in
- Not waste your time showing houses that do not meet your stated criteria
- Arrange tours of homes for you and accompany you on them
- Analyze the comparative markets for price advice
- Organize and create offers to buy a house
- Negotiate with the seller's agent
- Schedule inspections and all other appointments if needed
- Accompany you during the close of the sale
Your Selling Agent Should:- Have regular conversations with you on the progress and activity of the sale of the home
- Be responsive and available to help with your needs
- Be honest and trustworthy
- Provide summaries of marketing efforts and who's interested in the home
- Offer advice on how to differentiate your house from the rest on the market
- Create flyers and advertisements detailing the great qualities of your home
- Upload details of your home to real estate websites and social media portals
- Provide great quality photos to accompany your home's listing online and all marketing vehicles
- Hold broker's open houses as well as public open houses
- Discuss with wide ranged network including realtors about prospective buyers for the property
- Evaluate agents and prospective buyers' feedback for features of the house might be lacking
- Be a counselor to you during situations of staging, reducing the price or other needed improvements
