Experts say having a
good rapport and feeling comfortable with the real estate broker is imperative
since you’ll have to disclose personal information, like your wish list,
finances and timelines. If you don’t get along with this person and don’t like
their style, no matter how good they are, it’s a long process and you want to
have a good working relationship with your real estate broker.
Whether the service
needed is for the selling or buying of a home, this is a relevant question. It
is important to know that a real estate broker can meet the needs of a client.
Determining how long a real estate broker has been in business and the
percentage of successful transactions completed tells clients significant
information. A series of successful transactions means that the broker is
current on real estate laws, while length of time in the business establishes a
history of tackling most issues that arise from buying or selling homes. It’s
easy for most people to see that the neighborhood with lots of boarded up homes
might not be growing, but often the signs are much more subtle, especially in
the early stages, and your real estate broker can spot the clues. Things like
neighborhood activity, street maintenance and the type and number of small
businesses in the area can all point to the neighborhood's growth trends. A
good real estate broker will be able to tell you if the home you have your eye
on is likely to be a good investment based on everything else that's happening
around it.
Experience can provide
insight when it comes to making deals with other real estate brokers and
understanding the changes in a market over time, both of which can be in your
benefit in a tight-inventory market. But that doesn’t mean you should
automatically write off newer brokers. They can be more aggressive and work
harder for you as they build their reputation — they’re hungrier sometimes.
Generally, experience
wins out, but don’t discount a top-notch new real estate broker.
