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!

We discussed yesterday the Points To Ponder When Remodeling Your Edmonton Home, now the things you need to ponder when dealing with your Edmonton real estate agents, Team Leading Edge is no exemption. Exciting!

Okay, first and foremost, you have to understand that a triumphant real estate transaction depends not only with your agent but also with you… yes, it definitely takes two to tango.

Now, as one of the deal makers, your participation is very important but you have to do your homework as not to hinder the process in an unfavorable way.

There is a relative connection between the success of the transaction and the quality of your business relationship with the agent.

This may surprise you, but meeting the right real estate agent might mean more to you, yes! This person will do all the heavy lifting for you, be your adviser, be your expert, be your counselor, the list goes on.

Confidence, trust, faith and hope is solid foundation upon which your business relationship should be built on with. If from the very start you have that gut feeling that things would not work out with you and the real estate agent, then the relationship is not worth pursuing.

Here are a few points that you may need to ponder when you start working with that agent.

TRUST: This comes first, as with any type of relationship. You may never achieve anything with the other person if you do not have trust. Your agent, or in this case, Team Leading Edge Realtors, live and breathe real estate. They eat real estate transactions for breakfast, so you have to believe in them. The reason they are with you from the very start is to act as support and provide the best solution to your real estate endeavor.

RESPECT: This goes hand and hand with trust. If there is no respect, do not expect to have a successful business transaction.

GRATEFULNESS: Show your consideration and appreciation-that means a lot to all agents. Do not be afraid to show how grateful you are with the efforts that your agent makes. It is essential to have feedback in order to give your agent that much needed motivation. It’s free after all!

DO NOT BE PUSHY: Respect, remember? It is advisable to maintain close contact with your agent but do not be too pushy. Your real estate agent was trained to provide you with vital information of the transaction, being too pushy would just hinder his/her effort.

On the other hand, do not be hesitate to give your agent a call whenever you would like to clarify something.

LASTLY, OPEN-MINDEDNESS: It’s a whole new world, today’s real estate buyers all ways have too high of an expectation. Be the better person by seeing the broader picture. You need to listen intently with what your real estate agent would advise you. This agent knows the conditions and possibilities in today’s real estate market than you. Be flexible to demands, be open-minded.
