How to choose the best Realtor FOR YOU

1. A FULL TIME REALTOR: Would you trust a surgeon who isn’t currently practicing and 100% focused on that job? A property is one of the biggest purchases you’ll make in your life, and you’ll want to make sure that the person handling your greatest assets is available to you 24/7, is a full time professional, a current member of the California Association of Realtors, has complete knowledge of all the 2022 contracts, and is fully dedicated to you and your resources.

2. GOOD COMMUNICATION: Work with a Real Estate Agent who you communicate well with, and who is responsive, willing, and able to answer any and all questions that you might have about the home buying or selling process.

3. STRONG MARKET KNOWLEDGE: You’ll want a real estate agent who is consistently paying attention to all market trends, new listings, and recent sales in the areas you are looking at.

4. WORKS QUICK: In this hot market, everything is extremely time sensitive. It is ESSENTIAL to work with someone who is quick when it comes to scheduling showings, submitting offers, making the necessary calls, getting all paperwork completed, and getting the deal done with no delay.

5. SHARP NEGOTIATOR: Your Realtor should 100% have your best interest at all times and be sharp in negotiating on your behalf to get you the absolute best deal.

6. KEEPS YOU UPDATED: You want to work with a Realtor who keeps you updated on progress and anything that may require your attention.

7. WILLING TO GO THE EXTRA MILE: Anything can happen during escrow. You want someone who is going to go the extra mile for you to make the calls, send the emails, double check the paperwork, bring to light anything that may be a red flag, and make sure your needs are met.

Overall the home buying and selling process can be stressful if you choose the wrong Realtor and Lender, so be sure to choose someone who will listen and take care of your needs, who will make the process positive and lighthearted, and who will keep all communications and contracts flowing smoothly
