How do I choose the right real estate agent?

Choosing the right real estate agent can feel overwhelming but focusing on a few key qualities makes it simpler. The best agents know their strengths and use them to guide you confidently. They are experts in the market, act with integrity to build trust, and bring a strong network of resources to help you succeed. Most importantly, they communicate clearly and listen carefully to ensure you feel heard and supported.

Pro Tip: Ask potential agents, “What’s your biggest strength as an agent, and how does it help your clients?” A great agent will provide a thoughtful, specific answer that reflects self-awareness and commitment to your success.

What does a buyer's agent actually do for me?

A buyer’s agent is your trusted partner in finding and purchasing the right home. They go beyond unlocking doors to handle every detail, from researching neighborhoods and narrowing down options to negotiating the best price and guiding you through closing. A great agent simplifies what can feel like a stressful process by listening to your goals, anticipating challenges, and giving you the confidence to make informed decisions every step of the way.

Pro Tip: Ask potential agents, “Can you share an example of how you’ve helped a buyer like me through the home-buying process?” A great agent will provide specific examples that show how they’ve turned challenges into wins for their clients.

Do I need an agent to sell my home and buy a new one, or can I handle it myself?

Selling your home and buying a new one at the same time can feel like a balancing act, with many moving parts to consider. While it’s possible to handle it on your own, working with an experienced agent makes the process far less stressful. They help you align the timing, pricing, and logistics, avoiding challenges like selling too late to secure your next home or getting stuck managing too many details on your own. The right agent creates a clear plan and provides the reassurance you need to move forward with confidence.

Pro Tip: Ask an agent, “Can you share an example of how you’ve helped clients handle selling and buying at the same time?” A skilled agent will share specific strategies they’ve used to keep things on track.
