How do I find a 'good' agent?
All realtors are not the same! Look for skilled agents who are active in the Real Estate market. Interview agents and ask the hard questions, such as...
- Why should I choose to work with you?
- Is Real Estate your primary source of income?
- How well do you know the area I’m interested in?
- (If selling…) What advertising techniques will you use to sell my home?
- Describe your marketing plan. What makes your marketing approach better than the plans offered by other realtors?
- Do you (or your company) rank in the top five, compared to other realtors in the area?
A good Real Estate agent will make money for you! We at Gulf Coast Realty Team subscribe to the philosophy that full service is the only plan that makes sense in dealing with one of your greatest assets...your home.
