• What your responsibilities are as a client (like telling them when you find a listing at 2 a.m.) Having this agreement protects both sides. It gives your agent a clear mandate to work hard on your behalf, and it gives you the peace of mind that comes with knowing exactly what to expect. Bottom line? You deserve clarity, transparency, and support—especially when making one of the biggest purchases of your life. Your agent should never feel like a mystery character in your home-buying story. They should be a trusted guide, not an unexpected plot twist.
Ready to meet your guide? Let’s do this.
So… How Do I Pick the Right Agent? Great question. Not all agents are created equal. Some are seasoned pros. Others just liked the idea of working in yoga pants. Here’s what to look for: • Someone who listens more than they talk. • Someone who asks good questions—and actually writes down your answers. • Someone who knows agency law well enough to explain it without sounding like a robot. • Someone who’ll show you all the listings that fit—not just the ones their office is selling. • Someone who goes out of your way to help you make sure your transaction goes smoothly and you are comfortable with your purchase Oh, and credentials matter too! Look for designations like: • ABR – Accredited Buyer’s Representative (translation: buyer ninja) • CRS – Certified Residential Specialist (aka, the real deal)
