6 tips to help you find the right agent

I thought it would help you make the decision on who to choose.

The best tip I thought was tip 3 Get out & About.

3. Get out & about

One of the best ways to research your shortlisted agents is at open house inspections, so why not pop into one and see your agent in action.

You don’t have to choose open homes of properties that are similar to yours, just use the opportunity to see how your agent presents an open house and deals with potential buyers. It can also be a good time to say hello and get some contact details.

At the inspection watch and interact with the agent, taking note of the following things:

The way the agent communicates and interacts with potential buyers. Is their communication style one that you’re comfortable with?
Their behavior at the open house inspection. Did they stand at the door and welcome everyone? Did they proactively identify the features of the property for sale? Were they able to answer all your questions about the property?
Did they follow up with you after your attendance at the open house inspection to see if you wanted more information about the property? Is this something you want your agent to do?
Were they on time to the open home and other appointments?
What do you think of the marketing/advertising for the properties the agent has listed?
