6 Characteristics That Separate Great Realtors from the Good Ones

Providing excellent real estate service isn’t just about understanding the local housing market. That’s right in the job description. You can learn everything you need to know about real estate and not quite have what it takes to be a great realtor. Here are some things to look for as you search for someone to represent you:

Problem-Solving Mind – Combatting the unpredictable issues that arise in real estate takes someone creative.

Integrity – Find someone you can trust. Realtors who are committed to high ethical standards act those values every day in and out of the office.

Negotiation Skills – Not just in price, but in terms and timelines. It’s not about beating the other side down; it’s about making sure your interests, as the client, are clearly and thoughtfully expressed by your representation throughout the purchase or sale.

Entrepreneurial Spirit –  Entrepreneurship requires self-motivation, drive, and smart decision making for success. You want someone with that kind of spirit at bat for you.

Strong Network – Collecting a vast network of local services takes the pressure off you to find trusted folks to get work done on a tight timeline. If your realtor is a trusted source, finding these services is a piece of cake.

Attention to detail – Organization, follow up, and communication create a better experience for everyone. That kind of attention is particularly helpful if you’re unfamiliar with home buying or home selling.
