Buying or selling a home can be a little overwhelming. However, choosing the right real estate agent can help make your home sale or purchase a smooth and stress-free process.

A Guiding Hand

Your real estate agent is more than a person who lists your home or shows you homes for sale. They are there to guide you each step of the way and let you know what to expect throughout the purchase or sale of your home.

From helping find a lender to signing contracts and everything in between, your real estate agent is there to answer your questions and make the process stress free.

A Focus on You

Buying or selling a home is an important decision. You want to work with an agent who listens to you and focuses on you.

Your real estate agent should ask about your current — and future — home needs. They should ask questions such as:

• How many people are part of your household?
• What hobbies or activities do you enjoy?
• Where do you work (or where will you be working)?
• What’s important to have close by (schools, stores, and/or restaurants)?

The more your real estate agent knows about you and what you are looking for will help them provide recommendations for a home that is ideal for you and will save you a lot of valuable time and energy, too.

Knowledge of the Area

Oftentimes, home buyers and sellers are moving to a completely new city or state. In these instances, you may need to rely more on your real estate agent’s expertise and recommendations.

Working with a real estate agent who has extensive knowledge of an area can put your mind at ease. They will be able to provide you with current information about the area, as well as tell you about any upcoming changes. For example, is a new school or transportation line being built? Are any new companies moving to the area?
