Real Estate Investing:Need a Realtor? Ask Another Realtor.

Article Summary:

Article Content:

I’m a Realtor. I know stuff about real estate. I also know stuff about Realtors and what it takes to be a good Realtor.  I can read through Realtor b.s. faster than a hot knife cutting through butter.

Since I can’t be everywhere all the time, I make it my business to know other Realtors who know as much as I do and who are also good Realtors.  And because I don’t know Realtors in every corner of the world, I know how to go about looking for a good Realtor. I know what questions to ask, what are good answers and what type of client they’d work with best.

Why? Because sometimes friends/friends of friends, cousins of friends, next door neighbors to cousins friends call and ask me if I know a good Realtor outside of area of expertise. Sometimes I have dealt with a person professionally, have met them at an event or know them virtually.  Other times, I have to do a little research and interview them over the phone.

If you’re looking for a Realtor and someone you trust worked with a Realtor they liked but who is not in the area you want to buy or sell in, don’t hesitate to call them.  If they’re any good, they’ll value the relationship they have with the person who referred them to you and will help you find a person just as good as they are.

Not only does it save you time and effort, you’re likely to get superior service. Realtors hold each other accountable and know what good service looks like.  When I refer someone to another agent, I check in to make sure the client is happy. If they’re not, heads roll.

Next time you’re looking to hire an agent, try asking another Realtor for their help.
