1. The agent should be able to demonstrate how they will help you obtain your goals; typically through their education, communication, negotiation skills, and commitment.
2. Agents should have a plan to find the right house, as well as an objective assessment of the home, and ability to help with the financing and inspection process.
3. An agent should have the time available to work specifically with you, and not be too consumed with multiple buyers and sellers as to neglect your time.
4. An agent should agree with you on how often you will be communicating with each other.
5. Agents should look for homes in the price range you are comfortable with, not necessarily what you qualify for. An agent should be able to provide you with a list of comperable sales to establish an offering price.
6. Buyers need to understand the real estate purchase process, so agents need to be comfortable in explaining the procedure; from searching for a home, to making and negotiating an offer, to inspections, lending, escrow, and closing.
7. A buyer will want an agent that is current on education and real estate law. Commitment to education indicates a high degree of professionalism.
8. Agents need to be able to discuss how a business relationship with the buyer can be improved or terminated so there are no surprises.
9. Reputation of an agent is critical in the real estate industry. An agent should be able to provide any buyer with references from past clients, as well as business partners such as title companies, lenders, and home inspectors.
10. A buyer should be looking for a Realtor because a Realtor is a member of the National Association of Realtors, and is obligated to follow a strict code of ethics.
