Tips for Canadians for What to Look for and Expect from a Realtor in La Quinta and Palm Springs from the Lori Bowers Group

A good Realtor not only can save you a lot of money, it makes buying or selling a home fun and hassle free. We suggest you interview at least three Realtors or more and find out this information. Then verify the information they tell you by speaking with at least 2 past clients. This is the best time you will spend in the process of buying or selling a home.
1. Get someone who is honest and ethical.
2. They have to be hard working- at least 10 hours a day, 7 days a week.
3. They must know the market and inventory. How many homes do they view each week from Palm Springs to La Quinta? Good Realtors view at least 10 homes a day.
4. They must know how to negotiate and close deals. The Lori Bowers Group is able to get accepted and close over 90 per cent of offers written and received.
5. You want an agent who has closed a lot of deals. Each transaction is different in it's own way. The more deals closed, the better you are at knowing what to expect and how to head off issues before they happen. The Lori Bowers Group has closed over 1500 deals and lots have been with Canadians in La Quinta and Palm Springs.
6. You want a realtor who has the services to help you with low cost and efficient financing. You make your payments for a very long time. Even .25 per cent more on a loan is a lot of money over many years.
7. You want a Realtor who can help after the sale with providers and services to fix and maintain the home including house cleaners, carpet cleaners, painters, gardeners, and more.
8. Does your realtor do rentals when you are not there? Many Canadian clients of the Lori Bowers Group in La Quinta and Palm Springs rent the home a few months a year for some spending money while they are down here. It sure beats having a home sit empty.
9. Ask the Realtor you are interviewing why they are a Realtor, how long they have been a Realtor, and what they enjoy about being a Realtor.
10. Ask them what they know about Canada and Canadians and if they have ever been to Canada. What do they like about Canadians and Canada? Let's hope they don't say their money. Ask them how many Canadian friends and family they have.
  With this information, you are armed to make a good decision for a good Realtor for Canadians in La Quinta and Palm Springs. The process should be fun, hassle free, and best of all profitable.
