What to Expect When Working With a Real Estate Agent

Buying or selling a home is an exciting time, but it can also be overwhelming. That’s why many people choose to work with a real estate agent – they are knowledgeable and experienced in the real estate market and can make the process of buying or selling a home easier. Working with a real estate agent can help you get the very best deal on your home, so let's discuss what you should expect when working with one.

Communication & Timing

An important part of working with a real estate agent is communication. You need to be able to trust that your real estate agent will respond quickly and accurately to any questions or concerns that arise throughout the process. Make sure you have open lines of communication right from the start and keep those channels open throughout your experience. Here at Team JP, you can expect personalised, responsive service at every stage of your journey.

Research & Negotiation Skills

Another benefit of having an experienced real estate agent by your side is their extensive knowledge of housing markets and negotiation skills. Negotiation skills are something that separates the good agents from the great ones and this is something we pride ourselves on here at Team JP. 

A great agent will also be able to research current trends in the area, helping you make an informed decision about whether it’s the right time for you to buy or sell a home. 

Expectations & Guidance

Before hiring an agent, make sure that they are aware of all your expectations for the transaction - from timing to budget to other needs related to buying or selling a home. You should also know what kind of guidance they plan on providing throughout the process - such as offering advice on pricing strategies or providing resources for financing options if needed. 

With decades of experience between them, Janice and Petals can not only get you the very best deal, they also come with a comprehensive network of tradespeople and a thorough understanding of the finance options available in the world of property.
