There are 1300 Real Estate professionals serving Greater Victoria. Here are some pointers on how to find the right person for you:
· Do you feel a connection with the agent?
Buying or Selling a home is a complicated process. Does the agent give you the sense of competence, experience and knowledge? Do you feel you can trust this person and does rapport exist?
· Is he/she a Buyers Agent or a Sellers Agent?
Most agents do both. But many specialize in exclusively working with buyers or with sellers. Be sure to ask.
· Does the agent have recent experience in this price range and market area?
An agent who specializes in condo sales may not be able to provide valuable advice on commercial properties or vice versa. A true professional will explain their scope of expertise.
· How accessible is the agent?
If you require someone who can respond quickly to emails and text messaging, you need to determine in advance how the agent handles contact from you.
· What are the agent’s previous successes?
Testimonials from recent customers is a great way to gauge the agent’s dealings with other people. Good agents keep testimonials and often will provide contact information for you to speak directly with previous customers. You do background checks on employees or tenants- why not on your agent too?
