A MATTER OF CHEMISTRY...and Expertise

            Finding a good realtor who you like and trust is the first step in selling or buying a home, and the most important step.

            For sellers, that person will be responsible for directing the marketing efforts for your home – the pricing, advertising, open houses, negotiations, analysis of results, and more.  You will be working closely with the person you choose.  That’s why it’s important you don’t choose the first realtor you happen to meet.  Studies show that well over 50% of sellers hire the first realtor they call.  For buyers, knowledge of the local market, expertise in town code and experience in negotiations is crucial to getting you the home you desire for the right price.

            Take the time to interview candidates at both franchise and boutique, independent firms. Consider recommendations of trusted friends and relatives.  Check to see that the agent has the experience and expertise for your particular search or property.  Ask about the agent’s track record.  Always work with someone who knows the area. Remember all real estate is local.  Discuss the marketing plan for your property if you are selling.  What kind of resource commitment is he or she able and willing to make to you. 

            Then choose the professional with the approach and plan that works best for you.  Most importantly, be sure to pick the person who makes you feel comfortable and confident that they will get the job done!  Choosing an agent who will represent your best interest in your real estate transaction is the most important decision you will make.  Remember that it is a “team” effort, and you should feel comfortable that the person you choose will deal with you truthfully and have the courage to tell you what you may not want to hear if needed.  Yes, it is a matter of chemistry but also professionalism, honesty and ethics!
