Top 9 tips on choosing your Boca Raton Realtor
There are thousands of Boca Raton Real Estate Agents, as well as Realtors in Delray Beach and Highland Beach. Some are new to the industry, and some are well qualified. What will help you the most is someone with years of real estate experience who can successfully help you in the buying and selling process.
Everyone knows a real estate agent. They may be a friend, a family member, or even your mail man. Nowadays, it seems as though everyone has their real estate license. But, what can be most helpful is having an agent who is familiar with the Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Highland beach area to help inform you of the neighborhoods, schools, market conditions, zoning regulations and local economy.
Whether you’re buying or selling, having a real estate agent who keeps you up-to-date with new listings and conditions as they impact the market, is crucial. Palm Beach County real estate is an ever changing real estate market, and for that reason, must be diligently studied on a daily basis.
Find an agent who is treating their career – like a career. Too many real estate agents in Florida are only part time. Don’t short change yourself – use an agent who only works as a full-time real estate agent.
Finding a home is only half the battle. Make sure your realtor has partnerships set up throughout Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and Highland Beach so you can access their connections throughout the mortgage, insurance, title, and inspection industry to get you the best pricing possible.
Interviewing your real estate agent can tell you a lot about their personality. If you are buying a home, spending several hours a day in a car with a real estate agent who smokes can be torture if you don’t smoke. If you’re listing your home for sale and you’re a laid back person, having a high strung realtor can aggravate you very quickly. Do your homework – check out their personality.
Buying a home, whether it’s your first or your tenth can be very hectic. Finding a realtor who will guide you through the complexities of buying and/or selling a house can dramatically eliminate a lot of hassles and stress.
Time is valuable – and in the real estate industry, it’s even more valuable. For every second you hesitate, you maybe losing out on buying your dream home or losing out on selling your home. Make sure the right real estate agent doesn’t waste your time. When an offer is made to buy/or sell a home, require your realtor to disclose to all parties that an acceptance or a counter offer must be made in 24 to 48 hours.
Accessibility is very important. You’re realtor should provide you with personal, one-on-one attention, as well as several options to advertise your home and contact them. Compare several realtors and see what marketing techniques they use as well as how easy they make it for you to contact them. Obviously – the more the better.
A good, qualified realtor is like finding a needle in haystack. Knowing someone with a real estate license doesn’t necessarily mean they are best person for the job.
Take the time and do your homework - - you’ll save yourself a lot of headaches in the end.
