Working with an Agent to Buy a Home

Working with an Agent to Buy A Home

Selecting A Real Estate Agent
Finding the right real estate agent to help you in your search is the important first step to take when you are ready to buy a new home. Some people feel it is better to use someone you don't know--I can't agree with this thought because someone you know will usually go above and beyond the call of duty and have you as top priority at all times.

Knowledge, professionalism and experience are the important factors to consider when selecting a real estate agent. You should also look for someone who listens carefully to what you want in a new home and who knows the market well enough to find the right house for you within a reasonable period of time. Be comfortable with the person you choose. If you feel like the real estate agent is sensitive to your needs and desires, you will feel confident working with that person.

It is important that your first meeting with a Realtor is to complete a Needs Analysis and discover what type of home and location you are looking for. This also allows you to get to know the Realtor before looking at homes. It is important that personalities work well together and that you have the utmost confidence and trust in your Realtor.

Lead Generating and Business Building

Shifting Markets and Lead Generating

With the shifting markets it's important as real estate professionals to get back to the basics. We first must begin spending time lead generating (3 hours a day). Call on all of your past clients and then spend time following up with current prospects. Without leads you won't stay in the business. Keller Williams Realty has just rolled out a new training program that teaches you how to get 36 transactions in 12 months by working 3 hours a day lead generating. It's called 36:12:3. We are excited to roll this out this coming fall to help our agents with prospecting and building our databases. The internet and technology are critical to our business as well such as having a consumer driven website that is content rich; having a good blog; marketing your properties on as many search engines as possible and niche marketing. We must remember to have that personal touch as well and follow up with those internet leads within the first 15 minutes. Remember - get back to the basics and pick up the phone!
