WHAT MAKES AN OUTSTANDING REALTOR,FROM A REALTOR'S PERSPECTIVE

For most people, one of their most important assets is their home. Not only is it the place where we create wonderful memories, but it usually it is a large portion of our net worth. So , how do you select the person to help you get the most value from your home? Agent reviews on Zillow, Trulia, yelp, etc are important; but, what also counts is the Broker's reputation with other brokers. If the agent has a strong reputation among peers, it is because of these characteristics:

*Problem solver: every transaction has issues, so being willing to guide their client and connect with the right professionals is huge in getting to the finish line

*Great communication: Quick to respond to other pro's as well as their client

*Keeps the paperwork/agreements organized and correct so there are no legal issues

*Keeps the client informed of what to expect at each stage of the transaction so there are no

"surprises"

*Not afraid of conflict but is able to negotiate respectfully towards a fair and reasonable

end for all parties

*Is not afraid to "tell the truth" about the condition of the property , etc so that the property shows best

* Experience counts. Transaction volume/years in the profession means there is not much the Realtor has not run into before which translates into wise guidance for their client.
