Our blog has the answers…let’s keep reading!
Consider Your Top Priorities
Everyone is unique. Some people click immediately. Some people warm up in time.
Considering your top priorities and identifying what you find most important in a real estate agent will help you find that instant connection … one that not only warms up in time but warms over time too.
Determine the attributes that you find the most valuable while looking into the top real estate agents:
- Communication Style
- Knowledge of the Area
- Experience
- Working Style
- Flexibility
Check for Red Flags
Call them red flags, warning signs, or circumstantial conflicts, there are things to look out for when looking for a real estate agent. The home buying process can be a long one so understanding what you don’t want in a realtor agent will help pave the path to finding the right one.
Some things should set off alarm bells and some things should be given considerate thought:
A local reputation, which includes poor negotiation skills for example, or confirmed disciplinary action through your state’s real estate regulator, are warning signs that shouldn’t be ignored.
A real estate agent that doesn’t provide details regarding their experience or is insistent towards specific properties, may be exaggerating their credentials or have a personal incentive for helping you buy or sell.
A part-time realtor agent may not have the time to devote to your needs or you find an agent that checks a lot of boxes but cannot commit to your schedule.

Consider What You Want in a Home
You’ve thought about your dream home a lot lately but now is the time to topline a few important details. Answering these types of questions will help you find a realtor agent that has specialty experience:

- Will your new home be a family dwelling, investment home, or retirement property?

Investigate on the Ground
A little detective work combined with the available resources, can go a long way in finding a top real estate agent.
