Looking for a real estate agent to help you with your search for a new home? Follow these tips for finding an agent who'll best suit your needs.Get recommendationsFamily and friends who've recently purchased a home can be great sources of referrals of quality real estate agents. Folks you know can give you the scoop on what it's like to really work with a particular agent, e.g., how knowledgeable that agent is, how well that agent knows the community and its homes, and how well he or she may be able to meet your needs -- in terms of the type of property you want to buy and its price.Look for your typeWhen looking for an agent to assist you with your home search, search for who has experience, knowledge and positive reviews. It may be in your best interest to hire a real estate agent who is a Realtor® and is an NAR member. Realtors® must comply with NAR's Code of Ethics and meet a standard of conduct -- not all real estate agents are Realtors®. Go onlineOn the Web, Google or search for local real estate agents on Yahoo. Check for agents' advertisements in the local newspaper. Once you find a few agents who interest you, check out their websites -- on their sites you may be able to read up on their background, their business style and expertise -- whether it be first-time buyers or a particular neighborhood. The agents' websites no doubt will also provide you with several ways of contacting them -- e.g., via phone, text message or email.Get face timeOnce you narrow it down to a few agents who interest you, schedule meetings with them. Ask them about their years of experience, background, awards and designations and how long they've worked with their agency.Talk about the type of home you're interested in purchasing, your price range and the neighborhoods you like and get their feedback on how they can assist your search.Ask them how they'll keep in touch with you/update you on new homes on the market (e.g., by phone, email or text message), their hours and their current workload and availability. Keep notes so you can remember who said what when it comes time to make your decision.Talk to buyersWhen you meet with the agents, ask for the names of some current and past clients. Interview these buyers, and ask them about their experiences working with a particular agent -- pluses and minuses of working with that agent -- and if they'd recommend him or her. Talking with actual buyers should give you a firm idea of which agent will be the best one for you.For a FREE consultation on your personal real estate needs please don't hesitate to contact us 781.241.4760.
