Real estate agents in Richmond Hill are more common than high-rises, which makes choosing a Realtor difficult. What makes one better than another? And what should you look for in a Realtor?
When it comes to choosing real estate agents in Richmond Hill there are a number of qualities that will offer you a helpful and stress-free experience—and solid advice in investments for you and your family:
1. Personable
You’re about to spend months with this person, so be sure that you feel comfortable with them. You should be able to ask them every question you have, even ones that you aren’t sure are the ‘right’ questions. They should also be attentive to your needs.
2. Time
The busier real estate agents in Richmond Hill are, the more money they make. The problem with this formula is that many Realtors take on more clients than they can actually attend to. Here at the Wan Team we work as a team with all our clients, so that we can be available when they need us the most. And we never take on more than we can properly handle.
3. Tech Savvy
Today’s real estate market (and the world in general) is extremely ‘connected’, which means your agent needs to be tech savvy. Do they understand online marketing? Do they have a website that attracts attention? Are they social media marketers? The Wan Team are!
4. Experienced and Knowledgeable
Absolutely nothing can replace the importance of experience. Experience is critical in numerous aspects of real estate, including in-depth neighbourhood knowledge, negotiating experience, home-pricing experience, local-market condition knowledge, and home-evaluating experience.
5. Communication
Being personable is important, but even more important is their ability to communicate to you and with you. Are they able to explain complex ideas simply? Do they appease your concerns promptly? Are they able to talk with you about touchy issues, like the pricing of your home or how much of a home you can truly afford? Your realtor needs to be able to have difficult conversations with you—and they should do it with ease. They also need to tell you the truth, so be weary of agents who aren’t truthful with you.
6. Full-Time
Real estate isn’t a part-time investment and it isn’t a part-time career. The kind of knowledge and experience needed to be shrewd negotiators and neighbourhood gurus doesn’t come by putting in a few hours a week. Choose a full-time Realtor.
7. Teamwork
Buying and selling a home is hard. It takes a lot of work and plenty of communication—which is why you will be best served by a team of agents, like the Wan Team. By combining different areas of expertise with constant availability we can advise you on the home-buying and home-selling process successfully, every time.
