What To Look For To Find The Best Realtor® for You
Passion
The best Realtors® are passionate about real estate and their clients. They have their heart set on getting you what you want and they put in the time and effort to search the market, educate you, and help you buy the home that’s right for you or sell your home at a good price. Even though your Realtor® works with various clients, they should treat you with respect, make time for you, and be excited about your home ownership and investment journey.
Negotiation Skill
Realtors® who know how to expertly negotiate are invaluable. The best Realtors® know when to put in an offer and for how much, they know how to counter-offer, and they know the art of properly pricing a listing. Realtors® with an understanding of the seller’s or buyer's situation and the listing agent’s negotiation style can get you a good offer and a timely sale.
Connections
One of the reasons to work with a Realtor® is for their connections within the Calgary real estate market. The best Realtors® will have connections throughout the city and in various sectors; they will be able to recommend lenders, lawyers, home inspectors, and more. The best Realtors® have their finger on the pulse of the real estate market and can alert you when a new home becomes available or which potential buyers might be interested in your property.
Understanding
Whether you’re buying your first home, downsizing, or looking to move-up, your Calgary Realtor® should listen to your expectations, your goals, your concerns, and understand your lifestyle. Your Realtor® will give you advice and direction, but they shouldn’t monopolize your conversations or make you feel as though they aren’t listening to you.
Experience
Realtors® with years of experience will know the intricacies of the Calgary real estate market, including market trends and how interest rates are impacting the market. Experienced Realtors® will know how to expertly navigate different issues and can give advice based on their in-depth knowledge. Working with an experienced Realtor® can help you whether you’re buying or selling.
