tips on how to hire the right real estate agent


how to hire the right real estate agent

There’s a ton of real estate information available in the news today and on the Internet. It can be extremely confusing, especially in times of uncertainty like we’re facing right now.

If you’re thinking of buying or selling this year, you need a real estate agent who can help you:

  • Make sense of this rapidly evolving real estate market

  • Navigate everything from virtual showings to new online marketing strategies

  • Price your home correctly at the beginning of the selling process

  • Determine what to offer on your dream home without paying too much or offending the seller

  • Helping you figure out the mortgage and financing process

Dave Ramsey, a financial guru, advises:

“When getting help with money, whether it’s insurance, real estate or investments, you should always look for someone with the heart of a teacher, not the heart of a salesman.”

Hiring a real estate agent who has a finger on the pulse of the current market will make your buying or selling experience so much easier.

So, how do you identify who truly understands what’s happening right now? How do you know who will take the time to simply and effectively explain what today’s real estate market conditions mean to you and your family?

Check out the real estate agent on social media. What are they posting on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and more? Are they using their social media platforms to share relevant, helpful information, or are they just posting memes and recipes? The best agents are committed to educating the consumer so they can feel confident when buying or selling a home.
