Contact Corey Robinson as Your Home Buyer Agent in King County and Seattle, Washington.
Selecting an agent is a very important part of the home buying process. While there is no magic formula that you should use to choose your realtor there are several things to keep in mind. First and Foremost, do you feel comforatble with this person? Do you feel that they have your best interest at heart? Would you be comfortable driving around, looking at houses together and discussing your honest thoughts with this person?
You should also keep in mind that in Seattle's competitive marketplace, there is always the possibility that other buyers are making offers on the same properties you are. Your agent should be aggressive, educated, knowledgable about market conditions and values, as well as respected by fellow agents. In competitive offer situations, a smart listing agent will advise their client not to limit their consideration to the price of the offers only, but to also look at the Buyer's agent and their reputation to achieve a successful closing.
A few important facts to know about Buyer's agents ... Buyer's agents are compensated by splitting the commission paid by the seller with the Listing Agent. It doesn't cost the Buyer anything to have representation, and in the Seattle Real Estate Market, workng without an agent is like walking around blindfolded with no one to guide you!
All agents have access to the same information on the multiple listing service. How often they check that information and how proficient they are at accessing and interpreting it is another story.
All agents work hardest for their clients who are not working with other agents. You have asked for your agents commitment of time and energy, at the least, they deserve your loyalty in return.
