Top 10 Signs You Need A New Real Estate Agent

Every profession has its group of slackers that gives the rest of the group a bad rap... After calling through a list of ACTIVE homes this morning to find that all of them already have contracts on them but still say ACTIVE (deceiving us in to thinking they are available), I decided to create this list.

Top 5 Signs You May Need A New Listing Agent:

1. Your listing agent wins your business by promising you they can sell your home for a high price and right after getting your business they beg you to lower your price.
2. They tell you that marketing your home doesn't matter and they never show you any of their marketing materials except their black and white print out of your MLS sheet.
3. You never hear from them or know what they are doing to sell your home.
4. They make it sound like every contract you may receive is good, safe, and will surely go to closing with no problems.
5. You go to sleep at night wondering why you are paying this agent so much money to do nothing but put a sign in your yard, take lousy pictures, and never keep you updated.

Top 5 Signs You May Need A New Buyers Agent:

1. You find all of your own homes online and they just chauffeur you around to see them.
2. They claim to specialize in the areas you are searching for homes in but they have never seen homes there.
3. They are always showing you homes that do not match the criteria you told them you were search for... like price.
4. They can't explain to you the sales contract you are signing and just encourage you to sign it.
5. You feel obligated to use them because they are a friend, family member, or a referral.

It is important to remember that when you are purchasing a home you are dealing with your hard earned money and assets... Time-lines and experience in this specific market are important. There are a lot of good and hard working agents out there and there are a lot of agents who have no clue what they are doing out there. Do your research... It could cost you a lot more than a little commission if you don't.
