Buying or selling real estate can be one of the most important decisions people make in their life. A home or villa can be the most expensive single purchase you will ever make.
The right Realtor will assist you to purchase your dream house or sell your home quickly. The wrong agent can spoil the deal, putting you in a potentially bad position both legally and financially.
The following are a few tips to making sure that you have a real estate agent that will be a true colleague in this important sale or purchase:
- Find an agent with experience. There are always new, young agents full of enthusiasm and complete with promises to work on your behalf. There is no substitute for an agent, however, who has seen all of the pitfalls that can happen in a real state deal. It is important to find an agent that not only has experience but also has experience in the type of property you are looking to buy and sell. Real estate and the professionals that sell real estate come in many stripes. For example commercial real estate is very different from residential real estate. Make sure your agent is an expert in your real estate needs.
- Find an agent that knows the market. The glut of real estate companies on the Internet can be confusing and sometimes downright misleading. Don’t be fooled by fancy websites and the promise of reduced commissions. Having an agent that understands the Hilton Head market, local lenders, local vendors, neighborhoods, and most importantly, an agent that will take the time to truly understand your real estate needs is imperative.
- Make sure your agent is a full-time Realtor. Many people hold real estate licenses and dabble in real estate when the opportunity presents itself. The professional real estate agent is critical in knowing the increasingly complicated process of buying and selling a home.
- Make sure you are comfortable working on your real estate projects with this individual. During the selling or buying process, you may find yourself in daily contact working with your real estate agent. Make sure you feel comfortable working with your Realtor.
- Don’t be afraid to ask questions. As stated before, picking the right real estate agent is one of the most important components of a successful real estate transaction. No question is too small and no concern is trivial. Choose wisely.
