What qualities or actions does your RE agent do that you appreciate and keeps you coming back? What has turned you away from certain agents?

@Sammie Olson Great questions! As a real estate agent, I think it's critically important to first find out what the client is really looking for. In order to do that, an agent has to ask great questions so that it's clear to both the client and the agent what the goal is. Each client will be different, but in general, agents should be providing a level of comfort & knowledge to the client. They should always put the client's interest first. They should be proactive in helping the client find what they're looking for. They should have connections in the business for the client to leverage to minimize stress. The list goes on!

Not knowing the market, not being responsive, and not having worked with investors are just a few things that would turn me away if I were in your shoes.

Hope this helps! Happy Holidays & Happy New Year!
