Carlsbad Real Estate Agent

What To Know When Hiring A Real Estate Agent:

Understand Agents Work on Commission:
Real estate agents rarley work on salary so they don't earn a living until they get your deal done.Compensating agents on commission means agents are highly motivated to do a good job for you. Agents are in business to earn a living and their time is valuable please treat our agents like you want to be treated.

Be On Time:
Be respectful, use common courtesy and don't expect an agent to drop what he or she is doing to run out and show you a home on a whim. Make sure you show up for appoinments and again be on time. Our agents want to maximize our time with our clients. Remember we work for you and how you treat us goes a long way to cultivating a successful realationship.

Do Not Call the Listing Agent If You Are Working With a Buying Agent:
Listing agents work for the seller, not the buyer. If you hire the listing agent to represent you, that agent will now be working under dual agency. Conflicts of interest may occur. If a listing agent shows you the property, the listing agent will expect to represent you. Ethics prevent a listing agent from showing preferential treatment. Let your buyer's agent do their job.

Make Your Expectations Known:
If you expect your agent to pick you up at your front door and drive you home after showing homes, tell them. We will provide that service most times. Let your agent know how you want them to communicate with you and how often. Do you want phone calls, emails, text messages, IMs or all of the above? Set realistic goals and a time frame to find your home. Ask your agent how you can help by supplying feedback. If you are unhappy please let us know. We want to make you happy. Don't be afraid to ask questions and give feedback.
