Shop for a Home - Finding a good agent — one
who knows and understands the local market — is the first step in
your home search.
Selecting an Agent
A good real estate agent is a partner in your home search, someone with
whom you'll be working closely. Spend the time to develop a strong relationship.
Advantages of Using an Agent
Your agent can give you valuable insight into the market and provide
access to a large number of available homes through the Multiple Listing
Service. Working every day in the local housing market, your agent is
an invaluable source of advice on pricing, features, and trends.
A Good Agent Does More Than Just Show Homes
An agent can put you in touch with lenders,
home inspectors, attorneys,
and any other professionals you need to complete your purchase. Don't
hesitate to ask for recommendations - chances are your realtor knows
qualified professionals in all of these areas.
Choosing an Agent
A good agent is experienced, with a strong knowledge of the local market
and a willingness to put in the time required to help you find the right
home. If an agent doesn't have the time, interest, or commitment to develop
a thorough understanding of your needs, look for one who does.
Working with Your Agent
Once your search begins, make sure to take advantage of your agent's
knowledge and experience. Don't hesitate to ask questions or request
market data to help in the search. Review our tips on working
with a realtor to help get the most out of this relationship.
