Choosing a Realtor Who

Friday, December 12th, 2008

A qualified Realtor can greatly facilitate the process of selling your property. Finding a good Realtor, however, takes time and requires a bit of research and homework to ensure that you have found a good fit.

A qualified real estate agent can help you find a home, tell you how much your home is worth and what to list your home for, recommend lenders and home inspectors, coordinate your home’s closing and help coordinate negotiations for your Coppell real estate.

The following tips will help you find a qualified Realtor:

  • Get referrals from friends, family, neighbors and business associates. Choose at least three Realtors who you will then interview. Some common questions to ask a Realtor during the interview process include:
    • How long have you been in business?
    • Will I work with you or with a business associate or assistant?
    • How many homes have you sold in the neighborhoods that I am looking at?
    • What marketing techniques will you use to sell my home?
    • How many clients do you currently have?
    • Do you work full-time (a part-time Realtor may not be able to devote the time needed to sell your home.)?
  • Learn about the Realtor’s qualifications, including continuing education and training.
  • Ask your Realtor for referrals. A qualified real estate agent should have a long list of referrals from which to choose. Any Realtor hesitant to give you referrals should be avoided.
  • Determine whether your personalities mesh well together. No matter how qualified a real estate agent is, if you don’t feel comfortable around him or her, then the relationship will not work. You will need to have frequent, honest conversations, so don’t take this area too lightly.

Find a Realtor who is easy to talk to, who answers your questions directly and honestly, and is readily available to answer questions and address concerns at any given time.

Buyer Tips: Talking with the Neighbors before Buying your Dream Home

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

Your dream Coppell home has it all: the quaint, picket fence, the brick fireplace, the wooded backyard. All seems well and you’re ready to put in an offer.

But wait! You almost forgot an important part of the home buying process – checking out the neighborhood and the neighbors!

Many home buyers will scout the neighborhood, of course, before deciding if the home is right for them. And this is a smart decision. Some questions to ask yourself:

  • How are the homes in the neighborhood cared for? Is pride of home ownership evident?
  • Is the street busy? Does traffic seem to pick up during certain times of the day? Is traffic noise evident and distracting from inside the home?
  • Is it close to schools, shopping, your place of employment, etc.?

Your inspection of the neighborhood shouldn’t end there. Your potential neighbors can, perhaps, be the best source of information.

Begin by knocking on the neighbors’ doors and asking questions such as:

  • How long have you lived in the neighborhood?
  • What do you like best about living here?
  • Is there anything about this neighborhood you would change if you could?
  • Are there problems with crime or vandalism with the neighborhood?
  • How well are the streets, parks and public areas taken care of? For example, are the streets plowed in a timely manner during snow storms?
  • Is the neighborhood quiet? Do you have any problems with nuisance neighbors?

Your interview with the neighbors will not only provide you with important information about the neighborhood, but also give you a good idea as to how well you will get along with the neighbors. Were the neighbors courteous? Did they take the time to talk with you, or seem annoyed or offended by your questions?

You owe it to yourself to gather all information possible before making the decision to buy a home.
