6 Things To Consider When Choosing A Real Estate Agent

Comments Off

Posted on 25th July 2011 by jenn in Atlanta Real Estate |CB Bullard Quick Tip |Georgia Real Estate |Home Buying |Meet Our Real Estate Agents |Uncategorized

, , , , , , , , , ,

women at the computer, online realtor searchLooking to buy or sell a home? It’s not hard to find a real-estate agent, but it may be overwhelming when trying to find a great agent. There are several things to look for in a good agent.

First, find an agent who works full-time. A full-time agent can be available when the client is available. They are also more available for other agents who may have clients interested in the home. Additionally, a full-time agent is likely to have only one job and they have a greater need to make the sale than a part-time agent.

Second, find a well credentialed agent. A broker typically has more experience than an agent. A realtor belongs to a national association that has an ethical standard. This gives the buyer or seller an extra layer of insurance that the person they are working with has a solid ethical standard.

Third, make sure the agent isn’t a dual agent. This is less common than it used to be. While most agents work equally effectively as a buyer or a seller’s agent, it’s important that they only be acting as one on any given sale. If they have the listing for a home, they should not be the agent bringing in a buyer as well. This avoids any conflict of interest.

Fourth, the agent should work with the types of homes the client is looking for. A client looking at low-end foreclosures would not work well with an agent who specializes in high-end new homes. Likewise, someone selling a condominium may not get the best results from an agent who works primarily with single family homes.

Fifth, the real-estate agent should communicate effectively and listen to the client. There are many different styles of listening and speaking. The client should find an agent who communicates well with them. This includes taking the time to answer questions and address any concerns. No one should feel their agent doesn’t care about their needs.

Sixth, the real estate agent should have a network of inspectors, insurance agents and mortgage brokers they commonly work with and recommend. While it is not imperative to work with any of these people, it helps to know the agent can recommend a qualified professional.

There are many well-qualified real-estate agents who work very well with many customers. It’s important to know that no one agent works well with every single person. It is up to the client to make sure the agent is well qualified and able to work well with them.

Creating Curb Appeal

Comments Off

Posted on 28th June 2011 by jenn in CB Bullard Quick Tip |FSBO Tips |Georgia Real Estate |Meet Our Real Estate Agents |Uncategorized

home with curb appeal, georgia home, fayetteville GA home for saleIf you are selling your home, most likely your realtor has talked to you about the importance of curb appeal. The first impression a buyer has of your home is the same as a first impression when meeting you. How likely is it that someone will take you seriously at a job interview if you arrive in dirty clothes, hair that isn’t brushed or wrinkled clothes. Not the best impression. If the lawn isn’t mowed, toys, tree branches or weeds growing out in the lawn … same bad fist impression for your home.

Here are a few things to keep in mind for your checklist:

  • Make sure large bushes are pruned or removed to showcase all of your home
  • Check to make sure your driveway looks good
  • Kill weeds and grass in those sidewalk cracks and driveway cracks
  • Add a new layer of mulch in those flower beds
  • Install lighting (some lighting is solar powered for easy installing) for your pathways and spotlights for focal points
  • Make sure the front door is freshly painted, hand print free and looking clean

These are just a few tips and ideas.  Home Depot created a more detailed list and you can do most of the updating yourself!  (Easy Ways To Create Curb Appeal from Home Depot)
