If you’re working with a landscaping contractor, you want to develop a good working relationship with that professional, so you can avoid delays, stress and other
issues. After all, the last thing you want is a tree planted in the wrong spot because of a misunderstanding! The same holds true when working with a real estate
agent. Whether you’re buying, selling, or both, you want the process to go smoothly and successfully. Creating an ideal working relationship with your agent is an important
step toward making that happen.
How do you do that?
First, ask your agent to go over the process with you. If you’re selling your home, you want to understand the steps the agent is going to take. That way, there will be
fewer surprises. In particular, you’ll want to discuss how viewings will be handled. You’ll need to come to an agreement as to when your home will be available for
viewings, how short-notice viewings will be handled, and whether or not “lockbox access” will be needed. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, even if you’re worried
about seeming to be naive. (You won’t!) You don’t want to have unanswered questions or concerns between you and your agent.
Also, know that misunderstandings and mistakes can happen in any relationship with a professional. So if an issue comes up, discuss it right away. Don’t let it fester.
Finally, remember that your agent should be a professional with expertise in buying and selling in this market. When we make a recommendation regarding
pricing, prepping your home, viewings, etc. remember that we are working in your best interest. We want to sell your property, quickly and for a good price, just as much as
you do!
