Choosing a Realtor
Searching for your dream home can be a time consuming experience.

Working with a professional Realtor will make the process much more efficient.
Since most people spend a fair amount of time with their Realtor, it's important to choose a Realtor you feel comfortable with, and one who is responsive to your needs.

 

The following questions will help you decide if a particular Realtor is right for you:

  • Do they return your phone calls?

  • Do they ask you questions to determine what you want/need in a house?

  • Do they perform a financial analysis to help you determine how much you can afford?

  • Do they explain things clearly?

  • Do they suggest financing methods?

  • Do they seem knowledgable about the community?

  • Do you feel comfortable spending time with them?

If the answer to most of these questions is "Yes" - you've found yourself a great Realtor.
 

If you find yourself answering "no" to many of these questions, or to any individual questions that are important to you, you should keep looking until you find a Realtor you feel comfortable with.
