4 ways of finding the Best Real Estate Agent in Your Market

Thanks to Canada’s real estate boom, finding a real estate agent seems pretty easy. Almost everywhere you go in a major city there’s an ad for an agent or a team who’s willing to take your business. But if you’re buying or selling a property, you don’t want just any real estate agent, You want someone you can trust, who knows the market and will take care of all your real estate needs from start to finish. Here’s how to find, and vet, your next agent.

1. Use Trusted Resources to Find Agents Near You

• Do extensive research online for the best agents in your area or where you plan to move.
• Ask people who had a great experience buying or selling a home for the agent they used.

2. Make Sure They Know Your Local Real Estate Market

• When it comes to buying a house, working with an agent who’s an expert negotiator ensures you aren’t overpaying on your new place. A high-volume agent also has access to many available homes and may even know about homes before they hit the market.

• If you’re selling your house, an agent who is that successful can afford to provide a full marketing plan and may even hire extra support to make sure home sales don’t miss a beat.

3. Learn About Their Customer Service

How do they communicate with their real estate clients?

You need a real estate agent who is both highly responsive and honest to a fault. Look for someone who can be blunt in the nicest way possible. The last thing you want is an agent who will give you false expectations about your home. Whether you like it or not, it’s in your best interest for them to call it like they see it.

Talk with their past clients.

Want to know the good, the bad and the ugly? Nothing beats talking to a former client about their personal experience with an agent! When you interview real estate agents, make sure they provide a list of past clients for you to contact.
