When you’re in the process of buying or selling a home, you want a good real estate agent on your team. If you’re looking for someone that meets (if not exceeds) your expectations, we recommend you hire a real estate agent that fits the following criteria.

1. Trustworthy

Look for a real estate agent that has integrity and is in good standing with others. Whether you’re selling your home or looking to buy, you should look for a real estate agent that you can trust. When you find an agent that does everything by the book, it puts your mind at ease, knowing that if you forget something crucial, they have your back.

2. Accessible

Is there a lack of eye contact? Are you constantly getting an answering machine? You’re dealing with a sub-par real estate agent. Good real estate agents make it easy to communicate with them. They work around your schedule and have good people skills. Not every real estate agent is going to be talkative and bubbly, but they should be personable, genuine, and easy to connect with.

3. Experienced

One of the most important signs of a good real estate agent is how experienced they are. Look at their credentials, certifications, and how long they have been in business. If you want to get the best deal possible, you want a real estate agent who knows the rise and fall of the market and is well-connected.

4. Motivated

You may not see the same energy in every real estate agent, however, you should see they have a drive and passion for the business. If your agent lacks this quality, you may have a hard time buying/selling your house. Motivated real estate agents carry themselves in a professional manner, negotiate skillfully, and demonstrate perseverance.

5. Patient

You should also look for a real estate agent that is patient and understanding, particularly if you have young children or older parents living with you. A good real estate agent understands that you are not the expert, they are! They will walk you step-by-step through the hoops, giving you clear direction and answering all your questions in a respectful tone and manner.

Have you found a real estate agent that possesses all of these qualities?
If not, we’d be happy to introduce you to an agent that does!
