Need a Real Estate Professional? Forget About The "Legends"

Whether you are buying a new home or selling your current home, you need to have a real estate professional that knows the market. Forget about the "legends" that are only looking to get you to sign a listing agreement so that they can put their sign on your property. After that, you'll probably never hear from them. They don't care, they work the numbers game...if they get enough listings some of them will sell and then they'll make money. If yours doesn't sell. so what. They have others that will. The "legends" are those that would have you believe that they are the ONLY ones that actually know what is going on in the market. That all other agents are just in their way. That the whole purpose of your home's listing is for them to look good. Don't waste your time with them. They only know what is going on in the market for that one specific moment when they are trying to talk you into signing a listing agreement with them.
Do they sell homes? Sure. They have to in order to make any money. But they play the odds. As I stated here before...given a large enough number of listings, some of them have to sell. You want to play the odds? Do you want to risk being one of their listings that didn't sell? Or do you want to hire a professional that if affiliated with a brokerage company that had a shorter selling time then the county averages? Your choice. And one last point...don't use any questions that they provide to you for questioning other agents. The questions they will give you will be skewed EXCLUSIVELY towards them (i.e. "Ask the other agent if they have X years, X months, and X days experience in real estate." or "Does the other agent have the exact same designations as I do?").

No, you need a professional that has run his own business and understands why customer satisfaction is key to any business's on-going success. You need a professional that treats the marketing of your home as an intregal part of his business, not just part of his job. You need a professional that is in business to STAY in business and not just BE in business. You need someone who won't put their best interest ahead of YOURS.
