Staten Island Real Estate.
Should you dump your real estate agent and how to tell if you have
a good real estate agent.
Buying a home is serious business and is probably your biggest investment but yet many buyers do not know what a real estate agent should do or shouldn’t do for that matter.
When you lack experience, how could you tell if you have a good real estate agent or an incompetent real estate agent.
A good real estate agent should listen to you.
When I meet with you for the first time, we will sit down together and I will ask you to tell me the following:
1- What type of a home are you looking for?
2- Are you familiar with Staten Island?
3- What area or neighborhood are you looking in?
4- Are schools important to you?
5- Is transportation important to you?
6- How many bedrooms do you need?
7- What is it that you must have in a home? For example: garage, basement, fireplace etc….
8- Do you have a
pre-qualification or pre-approval for a mortgage?
9- What price range are you looking at?
10- When would you like to move in to your new home?
This information is very important for me to know as your real estate agent. If I keep showing you homes that do not fit your needs and wants, then I just waste your time and mine.
Before you get into my car to see homes, I will explain the buying process to you, let you know how I operate and get a good idea of what you need.
Real estate is a full-time job. If a real estate agent has you as their second job, it can cost you losing the home of your dreams. Timing is everything in most cases. When offers are being negotiated a part-time agent may not be available to negotiate on your behalf when it is important to be available, and another buyer who has a full-time real estate agent working for them may get the upper hand. Now you have lost on the momentum.
