Finding the right buyer’s agent for you could be the difference in getting the property you want at the right time, in the right place, for the right price. When it comes down to choosing the buyer’s agent for you, you want to feel comfortable with the person and their ability to help you reach your goal of the home best suited to you. In the process, saving you time, money and the stresses involved in finding that property.
Start by asking the buyer’s agent how many other clients he or she is currently working with. This will be a good way of determining their work capacity and if they will have the time for those last minute decisions that could get you your dream house.
It is also important to ask how long they have been in the industry and what their qualifications are. This is a great question if you are by chance working with a person reasonably new to the industry. If this is the case chances are they have someone that is assisting them, usually a senior representative in the company. This will provide you with not only one but two peoples’ advice although it may be second hand.
Be sure to ask if the buyer’s agent has the correct contacts to help you get your ideal property. There is little chance in getting the property you want if for example you want an investment home starting at $380,000 only to discover they usually deal with clients who invest in properties starting at $600,000.
Last of all as the buyer’s agent about their last successful purchase. A buyer’s agent will always be happy to tell you of their successes with their previous clients without hesitation.
Asking the above questions and taking the time to find the right buyer’s agent for you can result in saved time, money and the perfect investment property for you.
