FINDING A REAL ESTATE AGENT IS EASY. BUT A PRO? WELL THAT'S ANOTHER STORY.............
What is a professional? In every profession, there are people who stand out and they are called professionals. Professional defined........ one who has special education, who possesses distinctive qualities, an expert, one who practices their highest being....all these convey an extraordinary person in their field. A professional or a real pro as we call them earned the meaning of the above words. They live them. When you see a anyone practicing traits as described, you are moved to recognize a professional at work whatever field of endeavor they are in. I have seen professional cooks, electricians, plumbers, escrow and title officers, doctors, nurses, bus drivers, retail personnel, military officers and many more who change your life just by them being professional in what they do. It is not something you easily forget. How a person CONDUCTS themselves in their profession contributes to their being called a professional. They leave that special impression.
How to spot a professional Real Estate Agent..........
1. Stands out for a good reason. More than just a person who has a license. They like what they do and it shows up in their daily life. Presents well because of it.
2. Knows what they are talking about and more importantly..... knows when they do not. Its called credibility.
3. Can genuinely listen and then decide to comment or not.
4. Is available. In Real Estate, the largest transaction of a persons life, everyone wants an agent that is available. Bears repeating that ALL PARTIES to the transaction want this.
5. Experience is an old favorite. However, eagerness to learn and please is what every newbie employs on his way to gaining experience. That precious innocence can get things done too. Remember your start-up?
6. When they speak, they are demonstrating how they will represent you. After-all, they will negotiate for your best interests. Speaking plainly, clearly and to the point says a lot to someone who wants to hire or use a pro.
7. Can explain what they do, how they do it, and why in just a few brief seconds. It was known as the business card test. If you cannot explain everything on your business card in 3-5 seconds, it just ain't you!
8. Can comment on what things cost or find out and get back to you. Either way, that makes an impression.
9. Doesn't bring up money ever. In fact, they are the last to bring up the subject.
10. Is current on what is going on in the market and can comment in layman's terms.
11. Knows their documents and what is needed in writing.
12. Sure, ethics and integrity are wanted. Clients also want to know that you can think out of the box. They want to know that if things get rough & tough, you can finish what you started. Can they count on you?
