Adept and tech-savvy agents will list their sales and information online because they know that most buyers start their search online. When you view an agent’s listings, look at how closely they mirror the type of property you wish to purchase, including area/neighborhood as well as price range.
Tip 6: Reach Out to the Agent’s Recent Clients
Both excellent and less-than-stellar real estate agents will receive plenty of feedback and reviews; however, not all will have recommendations or referrals. You want the latter. Look into any recommendations and positive reviews. You can research them yourself, or simply ask the agent to provide a list of what they have listed and sold within in the past year, with the accompanying contact information. Contact the reviewers if you can, so you can get a clearer picture of who the agent is and how they work. Ask the reviewers what it was like working with the agent, and what you can expert. Further, don’t be afraid to inquire regarding the original asking price of a home, and then what the end sales price was. Use the above tips to help you find the perfect buyer’s agent for you, and you’ll be on your way to gaining the upper hand/ advantage in your home search and home-buying experience!
