5 Ways to Tell if Your REALTOR® Is Doing a Good Job

By

While each REALTOR® handles their clients differently, there are a few ways to tell if your real estate professional is putting your interests ahead of their own. Here are five things to look for when considering if your REALTOR® is giving you the attention you deserve.

1) Go With Your Gut

Generally speaking, the best indication of the quality of service you are receiving is simply instinctual. If your REALTOR® is slow to respond to your phone calls and emails, if they fail to answer your questions directly, confidently, and in a timely manner, or if you just don’t feel like your being kept in the loop, it may be time to look for a new agent.

2) Look For Results

No REALTOR® can guarantee immediate results, but it shouldn’t be difficult to find evidence of their efforts. Inquire with your real estate professional about how your property is being marketed, and compare it to other properties in the area. If you’re not receiving the results you were expecting within a reasonable amount of time, ask your REALTOR® how they intend on improving.

3) Demand Personal Attention

While most real estate professionals work with multiple clients simultaneously, your REALTOR® should never leave you feeling ignored. A good real estate agent puts in the necessary time with their clients, helping them prepare their home for sale, making themselves available whenever they are needed, and providing personalized service throughout the transaction process.

Google the real estate agent, broker, REALTOR and see how they do their marketing, how vast, far reaching and compare. The job you do and not the smiling pearly whites, the charm of the guy or gal wearing the blue and gold "R" is the first test. Testimonials from others over the years that have thought enough to let you know you went above and beyond. All the time is key too. But compatibility and your expectations as the real estate owner is part of the match.
