An agent who is a professional Realtor® is held to a higher standard. Not all agents are created equal, it is just like high school, there are A students and there are C students. As a buyer or seller you need to understand who you are talking to. You need to test their knowledge with good questions. A great agent will always know who is going to buy your house if you are a seller. A great agent will always know what the best tactic for a buyer to take to secure the house they want. All the rest just follow along and hope. Make sure you are working with a professional Realtor®, one who will tell you what you need to know as much as what you want to know. This is today's Boston Area real estate news.
