Choosing A Realtor In This Market
July 27th, 2009 | categories: Coconut Grove Real Estate
There are approximately 25,000 licensed realtors in the Miami-Dade area.
So how do you find the right Realtor to work with?
Here are a few tips on choosing a good fit:
- Comfort Level: You must find a realtor who you feel at ease with. Trust me, you will be talking with this person more than you will your own spouse at times, so you might as well go with somebody that you like and are comfortable with.
- Local: Whether you are a buyer or a seller take a look at your potential Realtor’s current listings. Do they have a significant amount of market share in the area that you are buying or selling in?
- Experience: Now more than ever it is important to have someone with a tremendous amount of local experience. Ask how many transactions they have completed in your area in the past year or two.
- Ask for recommendations: Don’t hesitate to ask for a list of client recommendations.
- Once Again: I believe the biggest mistake sellers and buyers make in our market is hiring someone who is not local.
A little shameless self promotion never hurt: Of course I believe that my team is best suited to help you buy or sell your next property here in Coconut Grove. If you are curious as to the value of your home, please feel free to give me a call and we could set up a no pressure consultation.
