The Ideal Agent
Here's the kind of agent I'd look for if I were buying a home today:
-- Has been in the business three to
five years and seems really committed and enthusiastic,
-- Has completed higher level training (Graduate, REALTORS@ Institute
and Certified Residential Salesperson-both NAR sponsored educational
programs for real estate agent~, which include sales and technical
skills),
-- Has completed an average of 10
to 20 sales per year or more (working with buyers),
-- Has letters of recommendation,
and a list of people I could contact,
-- Has a portfolio or brochure, with stated mission and values,
-- Specializes in the area where I want to look,
-- Has time to put me first, within reason,
-- Doesn't delegate me totally to an assistant,
-- Seems strong enough to tell me the truth, even if I don't like it,
-- Explanations about agency relationships and how he works are clear
and concise,
-- Has high standards for choosing buyers,
-- Demonstrates strong communication skills,
-- Seems to match my business values.
