Working With An Agent >Selecting A Real Estate Agent
Finding the right real estate agent to help you in your search is the important first step to take when you are ready to buy a new home. Some people feel it is better to use someone you don't know--I can't agree with this thought because someone you know will usually go above and beyond the call of duty and have you as top priority at all times.
Knowledge, professionalism and experience are the important factors to consider when selecting a real estate agent. You should also look for someone who listens carefully to what you want in a new home and who knows the market well enough to find the right house for you within a reasonable period of time. Be comfortable with the person you choose. If you feel like the real estate agent is sensitive to your needs and desires, you will feel confident working with that person.
|
|
| Q |
What price range is considered upscale or high-end in residential real estate?
|
| A |
The price range varies depending on the local market, but upscale homes are in the top 10% of an MLS area's annual home sales. |
