How to choose a Real Estate Agent
Choosing a real estate agent is one of the most important decisions in the process of buying and / or selling a property and must be based on fundamentally technical and objective criteria. Not all real estate agents are appropriate for all situations; some agents specialize in commercial properties, some in office buildings, even those that specialize in residential properties may only work in specific areas. Next, we indicate some of the aspects that must be taken into consideration in the selection of a real estate agent.
In how many transactions you have participated.
How long have you been in the industry.
What additional services do you offer?
What is the commission that will be charged to you?
Be sure to work with an agent who is familiar with the area of interest and understands your particular needs as a client, such as financial status, status as a resident or foreigner, as well as your personal needs, such as proximity to the workplace and schools, children’s areas and other requirements.
• The part-time or part-time real estate agent.
The experience in this sector of the economy has shown that the time the real estate agent devotes to his activity is determinant in the quality of his services. And, this is due to the complexity of this sector; complexity that derives, on the one hand, from the legislation that governs all transactions of real estate, purchase and / or sale, in the United States of America and especially in the State of Florida; and, on the other hand, the complexity that derives from the market’s variability, which determines, among others, the opportunity to carry out a real estate transaction, be it sale or purchase; the choice of the good to acquire, when it comes to investing; the advantages of adopting a certain financial option.
Consequently, the real estate agent for whom this activity is only an economic complement to any other, can hardly guarantee a quality service, in the handling of all legal and market implications, which can be translated into timely advice. How would it feel to be operated by a doctor who works part time, how safe would it be to be represented by a lawyer who only works part time? The same happens in the real estate industry. Make sure you do not just work with a broker but a real estate expert.
Request personal and professional references, credentials, sales records, formal education.
When preparing a short list of possible agents, it will be useful to have the questions you want to ask ready. Remember, you are hiring that person and will be placing your trust in them, just as if you were hiring someone for a position in your company.
