You should make sure you choose the most "ABLE" RealtorŪ the 1st Time!

These are the Top 10 Things you should look for when comparing real estate agents.

  1. Is he/she a Full-Time RealtorŪ (meaning: This is their primary job and not just a "part-time thing" YOU deserve a FULL-TIME SERVICE) & a RealtorŪ is one that is a member of the National Association of RealtorsŪ, agreed to abide by all ethics, rules & regulations.
  2. Find someone Tech Savvy (we live in a technology driven world)
  3. Pick an agent with passion, enthusiasm and dedication. The agent that goes the extra mile for his/her clients will get the best results, especially when the going gets tough.
  4. Pick an agent who is creative. Someone who can write an offer that excites the seller and satisfies the buyer (WIN-WIN).
  5. Pick a team player. A RealtorŪ with a network of professionals at their disposal can take hassle out of finding a good handyman, insurance agent, mortgage broker, home inspector or a variety of other home buying and owning professionals you will need.
  6. Pick a RealtorŪ that has INTEGRITY, SENSE OF UGENCY and CARE!
  7. Pick a well-respected RealtorŪ. Other agents make deals with agents they respect, trust and with whom they enjoy working.
  8. Get the scoop on your agent. Ask to speak to past and present clients and check to see if they've ever had a complaint at http://www.trec.state.tx.us/complaintsconsumer/DiscipActions.asp this is the Texas Real Estate Commission.
  9. Pick a RealtorŪ you can trust! It's very important you choose someone that you feel comfortable talking with about your needs, wants, goals and finances. If you don't get that warm & fuzzy feeling within the first few minutes, then reconsider the person your talking with.
  10. Pick a RealtorŪ that has had referrals from past clients, their families, coworkers, etc... Referrals can really show you that he/she has the ability and gumption to do what best for his/her clients.

*Making sure that the above are matched with your RealtorŪ will all off-site any savings you think your saving on hiring; your friend that dabbles, a discount agent, or because your mother told you to use him/her.
