When you begin your search for the perfect house it usually starts with a search for the perfect Santa Cruz real estate agent. A good agent can help you with every aspect of buying a home.
They know the proper price ranges, what properties are available that match your needs and all of those pesky legal details required for closing. Your Santa Cruz real estate agent will keep things moving and make sure deadlines are met and everything goes smoothly.
Here are four tips to help you choose a real estate agent:
Meet Them Face to Face
Perfect harmony should be as instantaneous as love at first sight. You simply know you hit it off with someone, or you don't. Don't fight the feelings if you have doubts. Even the best Santa Cruz real estate agent isn't going to have a connection with everybody. There will be one that is perfect for you. Keep looking.
Ask Questions
When you do find a real estate agent you have a connection with, ask questions. There needs to be more than just a friendship between you. Make sure the agent has a real grasp of the area, the types of houses that are available, and seems in tune to what you are looking for.
Assess
Do they listen to your needs? If they’re not listening to what you want, move on. Did they answer your questions thoroughly? If they were unable to answer your questions or purposely avoided answering any of your questions, this is not the right agent for you.
Answer Their Questions
Your Santa Cruz real estate agent will have plenty of questions for you too. They want to be sure you can afford a new home. Don't be offended by what may seem like personal questions. They need this information in order to give you the best advice.
