Choosing the Right REALTOR®

Step One

The first step in finding the best REALTOR® for you is to ask yourself what services a REALTOR® provides and how they will help you reach your goals. The REALTOR® must be able to:

  1. Understand and Explain Agency, Contract, Property and other areas of law that apply to you when selling your property. As a seller of real estate, you will need someone who can explain legal documents and help you understand the implications of signing such agreements.
  2. Research, Compile, Analyze and Assess current and past market trends, comparable properties and other sources of information when evaluating a home or investment property.
  3. Negotiate agreements with the best possible terms for the client. And, most importantly,
  4. Sustain Constant Communicate with the Client. A REALTOR® should have the time to explain the home-buying process, discuss expectations, answer questions and generally be available to their clients during such an important transaction. Investing in a home can be an extremely stressful situation for anyone. However, when clients are notified of things to come and kept up-to-date, the transaction becomes easy to deal with and sometimes even fun! Before choosing your REALTOR®, ask the agent how accessible they are and who you will be dealing with – agents or assistants.
  5. What kind of personality do you work well with? At the very least, the REALTOR® should have a pleasant demeanor; should really listen to their clients; one who will provide the time and patience required by each and every transaction and; one who would provide feedback during the entire process of the transaction?

Once you have determined what you want in a REALTOR®, you must next determine whether or not the agent you are thinking of hiring possesses the skills required to provide the above services. Every REALTOR® is different: some have many years experience in the industry, some have educational backgrounds, some have teams that share responsibilities and the list goes on. Ultimately, it is up to you, the client, to find the REALTOR® who is best suited to helping you reach your goals.You will surely see that Barry Pockay has the skills you need to purchase your new home or investment for the lowest price!
