3 Essential Questions To Ask Your Agent Before You Buy A Home

Your Real Estate Agent Is Your Quarterback.

They’ll find properties, schedule tours, negotiate on your behalf, and be there for you as an advisor throughout the process. Today’s market is hard as a buyer, and it’s important to have an agent in your corner who knows what they’re doing.

Here are three essential questions to ask your agent before you commit to working with them:

1. How Will You Help Me Find Homes That Meet My Needs?

You already know how to search for homes on the internet, so you'll want to make sure your agent knows other ways to source properties. Hearing about a property first--or better yet, before it hits the market!--can make all the difference in getting you into the home of your dreams.

2. How Are You Helping Your Clients Compete In This Market?

Price isn't the only factor in getting an offer accepted. Many buyers are surprised to learn that the highest price often doesn't win! You'll want to be sure that your agent is equipped with strong negotiation skills to help you craft an offer with terms that appeal to the seller's needs.

3. Do You Work Alone Or Do You Have A Team?

We may be a little biased, but we believe there's nothing like working with a team to buy your home. Great teams can ensure that no detail is overlooked, because more specialized roles mean that every part of the process is handled by an expert at that task. And the collective experience means there's always someone who can answer even the most difficult of questions!
