A
realtor plays a vital role in any real estate transaction, but then,
it is a crucial decision to choose the right one...There is
absolutely no need for you to go in for the first San Francisco Realtor you meet...rather, you should interview a few
realtors which specialize in the specific area. Asking family,
friends and neighbors about realtors they have worked with can really
be valuable...Also, you need to identify your own requirements and
then rope in a realtor which fulfills the requirements completely.
Here are some considerations when qualifying an agent:
- You should interview the realtors and enquire about how many deals have they managed to close, and also, how many homes have they listed and sold.
- You must verify the credentials and professional accreditations of various realtors; it is an effective way to shortlist the best of the lot.
- You should have a detailed discussion with the potential realtors, make them understand your requirement, and have their inputs accordingly; this will give you different view points, thus allowing you to make a comparative study.
- You must be comfortable with the way a realtor communicates; some communicate via phone, some by email, some by exchanging texts.
- Do not forget to ask about the realtor’s commission and the buyer/seller agreement. It is important to go through every single line mentioned in the agreement before finally signing it;
Hiring a realtor means that you are giving the realtor the right to
act on your behalf...So making the right decision is very...very
important...
