oriented tools that help sell your home.
Honest? Professional real estate agents build their reputation on high standards of business practices. Self-motivated? Real estate agents are commission-only business people. Successful agents work hard because if it benefits their clients, it benefits them. Creative? Sometimes, it takes creativity to properly showcase a home, develop engaging content, and negotiate a sale. An agent who can quickly address any marketing need is an asset to you. Tech-savvy? Agents well-versed in the latest technology for marketing homes should have a website, social media setup, user- friendly home search options, and quality presentations online, with high-resolution images of homes, videos, and slideshows. Your online marketing should also easily be viewed on smartphones. A professional real estate agent wears many hats. He or she must be proficient in marketing, negotiating, consultation, legalities, property taxes, and, most of all, gaining the trust of clients. An agent who will meet your specific needs is certainly worth the commission he/she will earn. Having the right agent represent you in your home sale can make the difference between sitting or selling. Agents negotiate from a different vantage. Agents are more proficient in negotiating because conducting negotiations is a regular part of their professional work and because they are skilled by frequent practice. After all, it’s part of the real estate agent’s job description and training. Good agents are not simply go-between messengers who are delivering buyers’ offers to sellers and carrying counteroffers
