WHY would any Real Estate agent be working on July 3? It is a Holiday after all according to "Mrs. Big time national agent" who felt the need to call and yell at me for being open on July 3. Seems like a Buyer contacted her to see my new listings, she said she was closed and could not show it. SO they called me, I answered my phone and said yes the house could be shown.
On my follow questions are you working with another agent? They said yes, and named her. I told them they would need to contact her to contact me as i could not show her clients a home without her. They were even More mad, but nit at me, her... they looked up a home online, she contacted them as they were on that companies national web site, they never met her, she has not shown them any homes but they signed a buyer broker agreement anyway. (not sure why they would do that without interviewing her).
In the mean time agent like me work when potential buyers and sellers do not. This could be the busiest week before July 4th ever for me. Yesterday alone 1 new listing, the phone rang all day, 5 showings, 4 bpo's for a bank and countless new potential clients from every nice person who called and would tell me how happy they were to reach a "real person".
In Summary Buyer and SELLERS need to know that a GOOD agent handles many aspects of Buying and Selling a home one may not think about. The HARD truth is that your choice in agents will affect how well your purchase or sale goes. A home needs to be priced right to start. A home needs to be marketed and advertised properly. A home needs to be prepared for showings inside and outside. A Buyer or Seller can hire just anyone and hope and pray they found a good agent, but not all will. Some will learn a hard lesson especially if you make a BAD decision in agents.
The hard fact is do not choose just any agent, choose the BEST agent for the job. My philosophy is simple, provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process. All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest. Those that hire me, find a dedication like no other. and for some, a seat next to me for an hour in the future watching the sun and surf. It is the best way to boost energy and produce more.

THE TOP TIPS TO FIND A "GREAT" REAL ESTATE AGENT
1. LEARN THIS ONE FACT: One should know that All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest Agent or Company. It is important to Hire the BEST Agent. In NH that could be me.
2. CHOOSE THE RIGHT AGENT: As a Buyer OR Seller in this market you need every advantage you can to get your home sold. It starts with choosing the right agent. a. Ask for a Full time agent whose sole job is to sell homes. b. Ask for a Full service agent who will guide you through each step of the selling process. Discount brokers often equal discount services. c. Ask for a Local agent who knows your neighborhood and is readily available when you need them is a must. Out of town agents can leave you high and dry in your time of need. d. Ask for a well experienced Listing Agent can give you the advantages you need when selling your home. Not all agents are created equal. Choose only the best.
3. HOME BUYERS SHOULD START BY: Getting a FREE PRE-QUALIFICATION with a local and trusted lender. They will look at your credit and financial picture and let you know what type of mortgage you may qualify for and what your interest rate and monthly payment may be.
4. HOME SELLERS SHOULD START BY: Getting a FREE MARKET ANALYSIS. Learn what your property is worth in today's market along with how ling it may take to sell. If you are ready to sell now, learn what you should ask for it. How much offers may come in at and what the approximate selling price should be. NH Home owners should contact me now.
IN SUMMARY the key to having a successful purchase or sale can increase simply choosing a better agent. The secret is that All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest.
