Choosing a Realtor
Searching for your dream home can be a time consuming experience. Working with a professional Realtor will make the process much more efficient.
Since most people spend a fair amount of time with their Realtor, it's important to choose a Realtor you feel comfortable with, and one who is responsive to your needs. The following questions will help you decide if a particular Realtor is right for you:
Do they return your phone calls and/or emails promptly?
Do they ask you questions to determine what you want/need in a house?
Do they perform a financial analysis to help you determine how much you can afford?
Do they explain things clearly?
Do they suggest financing methods?
Do they seem knowledgeable about the community?
Do you feel comfortable spending time with them?
If the answer to most of these questions is "Yes" - you've found yourself a great Realtor.
If you find yourself answering "no" to many of these questions, or to any individual questions that are important to you, you should keep looking until you find a Realtor you feel comfortable with.
