Picking a Tampa real estate agent is a big decision. Buying a home isn't something most people do on a regular basis and rarely do they know agents personally or have one on retainer like they may have a lawyer for regular business purposes.
If your job doesn't entail a lot of property transactions you might feel like a fish out of water when looking around for a Tampa real estate agent. Fortunately, deciding on the right one isn't as hard as you might think.
Real Estate Agents Are People Too
That's right; they have the same qualities you would think of in any other individual you might do business with. So, finding an agent really comes down to measuring many of the same values you'd use to choose another business associate.
- Honesty
- Reputation
- Track Record
- Associations
Here are some tips to help you determine which real estate agent is right for you:
- Look at the agent’s websites. Do they even have a website? Do they give you access to all the listings, or just what they want you to see?
- Interview the real estate agents. Ask them how long they've been in the Tampa real estate business, how many homes they've sold in the past year, how they can help you find a home.
- Call the agents. Do they answer the phone? If you leave a voicemail how long does it take for the agent to call you back?
- Is the agent full-time or are they working some other job part or full-time? A great agent can make a living in any market. Those that work part-time in Real Estate may not be available when you are and may not have the time to do the best job for you.
