Choosing a real estate agent

One of the most important parts of buying a home is having a trusted real estate agent on your side. A licensed, experienced agent will be able to assist you with any questions and concerns, and will be your advocate through any possible issues that may arise during the process.

Remember not all agents are created equal so you many want to consider some of the following factors when considering prospective buyer’s agents:

How much time will the agent have to dedicate to you?

An agent with too many clients or part-time may not be available when you need them most.

Can the agent provide you with a list of references?

Past clients can give your inside information on dealing with a specific agent.

Do you feel comfortable with the agent? Do they return your calls promptly?

Trust your intuition when it comes to choosing an agent. Interview as many agents as you need to until you feel comfortable. Find someone who listens attentively to your needs and concerns. Remember time is money when buying a home.
