As I have read on Active Rain, I am realizing that real estate agents have a bad reputation. If reputation is all you have, then we need to show people that we are not snobs but people who care about our community. Which brings me to my topic what makes a good agent? The following is a list of traits that I believe an excellent agent has.  Feel free to add more to this list or disagree with it entirely.

1.  Ethical:  Is honest and forthright and does not lie.

2.  Passionate: Enjoys real estate and isn't dreading the next deal.

3.  Discloses: Makes sure buyer and/or seller understands the faults of a property.

4.  Service-Oriented: Puts the needs of the consumer first, not their pocketbook.

5.  Able to Negotiate: Can handle any type of negotiations.

Experience does not necessarily mean good. There are some good agents out there that just started the business.

FLEXIBILITY to meet clients when it's convenient for them, not us (yes, even nights and weekends)!

Matthew, You are so right!  I am a new agent (not even a year) and I believe that because of all my previous experience, I am a great agent!  I have all the traits you are talking about.
