Choosing The Right Real Estate Agent — Commercial Brokers International - Commercial Real Estate in Los Angeles

Abstract

Instructing a real estate agent One of the first steps in your home moving journey will be to instruct a real estate agent. The same applies to special agents working undercover on behalf of America's FBI. But luckily for you, real estate agents are incredibly easy to find and contact. Tip #1 - Low commission fee agents can be a false economy Some homeowners will decide to instruct whichever real estate agent offers them the lowest commission fee. How a real estate agent interacts with you, is a good indication of how they will interact in negotiations with potential buyers of your property! If an agent folds under pressure and isn't even able to negotiate a good commission fee for themselves, why do you think they will be able to negotiate a good sale price for your home? Instructing a real estate agent who is poor at negotiating can potentially save you thousands in commission fees. The customer should always be put first! Sadly, there are some real estate agents that aren't too concerned with your needs and priorities, all they care about is their commission cheque. Buyers are far more likely to offer on a house being shown by an agent that they like and trust, rather than on one being shown by a aggressive and pushy agent, that they dislike and distrust. The rationale behind his decision, was that the agent selling this property seemed trustworthy and pleasant to deal with, whilst the agent selling his number one choice was aggressive and generally intimidating.
