Real Estate Agents are the workhorses of real estate transactions. So if you are looking to buy or sell a home on the South Shore, you should only employ the best in the business. But what qualities should a real estate agent possess? We at Team Garner Realty Group listed nine characteristics you should look for.
Knowledgeable About All Things Real Estate
Knowledge is power. This is why you cannot beat realtors who know what they are talking about. They are updated with the latest trends in the local market. They are also aware of the latest topics in the real estate world.
Knowledge is what makes good real estate agents effectively serve their potential clients. Because for them to stay at the forefront of the field, they are consistently striving for professional development and continuing education.
Understands The Local Markets
South Shore has a lot of local towns. These include Cohasset, Duxbury, Hanover, Hingham, Marshfield, Norwell, and Scituate. To sell houses in these areas, a real estate agent knows the community housing market’s nuances. The best real estate agents not only know the town but know the neighborhoods in the town, including the school systems, crime rates, health centers, etc. They are educated about the towns’ pricing strategies as well.
A real estate agent also identifies and develops a niche. This focus allows them to distinguish themselves from the competition.
Builds Connections
Networks and contacts help successful realtors close deals. These connections include brokers, potential buyers and sellers, other real estate agents, mortgage loan officers, appraisers, and home inspectors.
These resources help them grow their business and aid them should they decide to switch sectors in the real estate industry.
Genuine Interest in Homes and Architecture
Authentic curiosity and enthusiasm set an excellent real estate agent apart from the rest. Again, we cannot express how effective an agent is when they know what they are talking about.
When potential clients see that an agent truly knows, understands, and appreciates what they are talking about, they will likely close the deal.
Meticulous To Details
Realtors work for clients. Therefore, they have to know each of their customer’s unique and individual needs. This is where organization skills also come in handy. Paying close attention to details is an important skill too! They apply it in communicating, following up on leads, and customizing approach and strategy for every client.
Outstanding Work Ethic
Top producing real estate agents demand two significant work ethics: hustle and tenacity. They should diligently pursue every lead and hustle to market homes to clients. But they know the difference between keeping busy and productive.
Real estate agents work smart. They exceed expectations and stubbornly do whatever it legitimately takes to sell homes.
Maintains Integrity
A long and distinguished career in real estate depends on their reputation. Joining the National Association of Realtors is a way to demonstrate that a realtor adheres to strong ethical standards. Honest and reputable realtors abide by the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice.
Self-motivated
According to Kapre.com, leading real estate professionals all share the ambition to control their career destiny and become their own boss. Their success in real estate requires a high level of determination, self-motivation, and strategic decision-making skills.
Problem-Solver
Many successful real estate brokers love coming up with new ways to solve difficulties. They understand how to correctly stage a home to increase its marketability, create unique listings to attract purchasers, and ultimately sell it.
