Real Estate Agent Do's and Don'ts

Investors in the PHX area!! I am a new agent in Arizona. My goal is to learn as much as I can so I can give my clients the best experience I can. 

What are some great or not so great experiences you have had with a real estate agent? 

What do you look for when you are working with an agent?

The most frustrating experience I have with agents is when it is obvious that they are working with THEIR best interests in mind as opposed to with MY best interests in mind.

Investors and realtors relationships should be mutually beneficial, but it comes across as one-sided when agents send me crap deals even though I have been very clear with them what my criteria is for deals. Or when they send me overpriced listings and then scoff at my suggestion to submit a lowball offer.

So as a new agent my advice to you is to truly listen to your clients needs, and then do your absolute best to deliver. Thats whether you're working with a buyer, a seller, an investor, whatever.
