QUESTIONS TO ASK BEFORE YOU CHOOSE A REAL ESTATE AGENT
Buying or selling an Edmonton property can become rather simple when you have the right real estate agent to assist you. But how do you know which real estate agent to hire?
Here are some questions to ask before you choose a real estate agent.
Do You Do It As a Full Time Job?
The very first question that you should ask your real estate agent is if they do it as a full-time job. If the answer of is ‘no’ then you had better move on to the next candidate. Will you want someone working for you part time?
Make sure to get an agent who will give you all the effort that you deserve.
What Makes You Different From Other Agents?
Real estate agents have different sets of skills, personalities and work ethics. When you are searching for a real estate agent, find one that can say ‘no’ to you. You want someone who is going to support and prioritize your interests which may put you in conflict with them.
How Will You Negotiate On Our Behalf?
A good question to ask when looking for a real estate agent is how will your real estate agent negotiate on your behalf. Buying and selling Edmonton real estate involves expertise and a positive attitude. A strong negotiating skill is a must for your real estate agent when the time comes to fight for your offer.
What if I’m Not Satisfied with Your Service?
Before you start working with a real estate agent, you should ask what will happen if you are not satisfied with the progress of the buying or selling process. You have the right to move forward with another agent. There should be mutual respect if the agent-client relationship is going to work. You should not be afraid to tell them that you’ve decided to work with someone else. All agents will tell you that are committed to stellar service but not all will deliver.
Finding the right real estate agent can be almost as daunting as finding the right Edmonton home. It will take time and effort to find the real estate agent that will fit your personality and style so take your time and choose wisely!
