Choosing a Realtor
Questions to Ask Your Realtor
You are going to be working very closely with your Realtor. You need
to be confident that you are working with someone who understands
what you want, knows the real estate market, and can give you the
advice and guidance you need. We encourage you to interview several
Realtors before choosing the one you want to work with.
To help you choose a Realtor, here are
some questions to consider:
How can you help me find the right home?
Great Realtors will impress you with their knowledge of the local
market and their ability to appreciate what you are looking for in a
home. They should be able to show you what is available in your
price range, and how the features and benefits of specific homes and
neighborhoods fit your requirements.
Given our particular circumstances, what
advice would you offer?
Every family is different and a good Realtor appreciates this. He or
she should be able to advise you on how to meet your unique
circumstances and lifestyle.
Why should I work with just one Realtor?
If you don't have an exclusive agency agreement with your Realtor,
you're not legally obligated to work only with him or her to find
your next home. It may, however, greatly benefit you to do so. Talk
to your prospective Realtor to find out his or her position and then
determine what's best for you.
What happens when you are not available?
Realtors work extremely long hours and try to be available whenever
and wherever you need them. However accommodating they try to be,
they are not always available. Ask your prospective Realtors
what arrangements they have in place when they are not available.
What makes your real estate service
special?
Every Realtor tries hard to give top-notch service, but what
distinguishes really good Realtors from the rest? Ask them. You may
be surprised at what they have to say and, just as importantly, how
they say it.
When the interviews are over it's time to make a choice. Think about
what the Realtors told you, and ask yourself:
Did they seem trustworthy and honest?
Were they realistic when discussing your home purchase?
Did they communicate well? Were you on "the same page"?
Were they committed, motivated, and experienced?
We think you'll agree that Colorado Premiere Homes are the Realtors
of choice –motivated, experienced, and dedicated to the highest
level of service in the real estate industry.
