America is flooded with real estate agents. Im just curious as to what you think it takes to be a successful one? Is it more important to have a dynamic personality or be a hard worker? Does it matter “who you know?” or could you move to a new town & with hard work be a success in the industry? Is it persistence that pays off or is it long hours?
Do you think age is a factor? Older = more professional?

The Value of a Great Real Estate Agent

 

Real Estate Agents. Like any business there are some that know less than you do, but there are also many agents that are excellent in their trade and worth every dollar of their paid commission. Please do NOT look at what they are earning, but rather what valuable services they can provide for the Seller.

 

 I can guarantee you that if you offer a low commission, it may not sell the property and or get any lookers… and you will REGRET it. Would you spend time on a project knowing that you were not getting paid, and or earn a much less commission than another Seller may offer? Not with a good agent!

 

A good Real Estate Agent knows what the properties are worth, and can also recommend what repairs and or improvements that may be needed to get it sold. Do your homework. Do NOT engage a Real Estate Agent that will work for a low listing fee, or talk you into a very high listing price.

 

They work part time, or that are someone’s friend or relation that you cannot openly voice your opinion. You will regret it later if not sooner! If it is a short sale, no problem, the lender(s) will pay a fair commission, usually 6%, and many good Agents have experience in representing Seller(s) in these negotiations. You do NOT have unlimited time to sell the property and it must be done quickly and professionally. Hire the best, pay a high commission and have NO regrets!
