Sold! Attributes Of A Good Realtor
A realtor wears many hats in the industry. From salesperson to business manager, the agent seems to do it all in the buying experience. The vital role that realtors play in home buying is why selecting the right agent is important. Here are a few attributes that every good realtor possesses.
Problem-solving Skills
Real estate agents are met with a number of challenges and often must adapt to their clients’ needs. Such needs poses a problem when sellers are not willing to oblige to requested changes. The agent needs to have a winning personality that navigates through misunderstandings. He or she also must use his communication skills to bring clients and sellers to a consensus.
Tenacity
One thing a realtor must never do is take the laid back approach. Your decision to invest in real property is a serious commitment that requires at least fifteen years of financial obligation. A good agent understands this and will stop at nothing to find you the home of your dreams. Many promise tenacity in their pitches, but the realtor who responds within an hour of receiving your question by email will truly work to earn your business.
Tech Savvy
He or she doesn’t have to be a realtor by day and computer technician by night but he should know a thing or two about computers and apps. The best agents keep their clients’ contacts and schedules on their smartphones and have access to the internet for up to date information. They are also more than willing to help you adjust to new avenues meant to make house hunting easier.
Honesty
Anyone can talk a good game when everything is going well, but few realtors are honest with their clients even when it hurts. You want an agent who is among the few. He or she should learn enough about you to know when a home is out of your budget range and not be afraid to share his opinion when asked. An honest real estate agent will never place you in an income bracket beyond your means, nor will he withhold vital information about a potential home’s upkeep even if it means losing a sale.
