No Real Estate Advocate? What To Look For In An Agent

,

Beginning your journey toward homeownership can be intimidating. Likewise, if you find yourself looking to sell your home, you might be wondering where to start. These are perfectly normal responses when you’re interested in purchasing a home or listing one. So, you’re in need of a real estate advocate, someone who will be in your corner every step of the way. This professional should be someone you can trust, who can provide you valuable information, communicate in a manner that matches your lifestyle and has a proven track record in this market. Ideally, you’ll want to seek out top rated real estate agents who have built a reputation for excellence. So, what should you look for in a real estate agent?

Agent? What Do You Mean Agent?

Before we jump into the specific “virtues” you’ll want to look for in an agent, let’s define what an agent is. According to Investopedia, a real estate agent is a “licensed professional who arranges property transactions, connects buyers and sellers, and represents them in negotiations.” In fact, part of their definition is our tagline: Connecting buyers and sellers. That’s what we do! We as real estate professionals bring homebuyers and sellers together. We help buyers find the property they’re looking for—this representation is known as being a buyer’s agent. We also help homeowners list and sell their properties — this representation is known as being a listing agent. Of course, these are simplified descriptions of these two common types of representation.

It’s important to note that there are other modes and hats agents wear, such as transaction licensee and dual agent in addition to whether a professional is solely an agent or a REALTOR®, but for the sake of brevity, we won’t dive into those here. Yet, it is imperative that this agent is a “licensed professional.” They should be licensed in the state where they represent consumers looking to buy or sell. They are required to complete coursework as well as pass a national and state exam. You can verify if an agent is licensed in our state of Pennsylvania by visiting the PA Department of State’s website.

Are You Looking To Buy? Here Are The Qualities To Seek In An Agent

If you don’t have a clue on where to start as you begin the home search process, here are a few areas to concentrate on, which will help you find a real estate agent you can certainly be happy with. First, it’s important to seek after a professional who has a firm grasp on your market. Specifically, this person should have deep knowledge about the neighborhood(s) you’re interested in, what’s trending now and what property values look like in the areas that appeal to you. It would be wise to ask the agent what their track record is in those neighborhoods or school districts you hope to reside in. Many top rated real estate agents have experience across various neighborhoods and can provide invaluable insights.

Secondly, is the agent willing to communicate with you regularly? The agent might touch base with their clients once a week, even if there’s little to no news to share, yet this would be something to clarify with them so proper expectations can be set. You’ll want to ensure your method of communication (email, text, phone) aligns with theirs.

Next, confirm they have the time to dedicate to you as you search for that dream home. What days and times are they available to show you properties? Are they available on the weekends or in the evenings? Again, setting expectations is critical early on in the process.

Another factor to consider is what others are saying about this professional you are considering. What have past clients said about their experience working with them? If you cannot find any testimonials, make sure to request references of past clients that you can directly speak to and tap into their experience with the agent. Working with top rated real estate agents often means you’ll find a wealth of positive reviews and references to back up their reputation.

Are You Looking To Sell? Here Are The Qualities To Seek In An Agent

Many of the above qualities also apply for owners looking for a top-notch listing agent. This real estate professional should absolutely be someone you can form a great rapport with, who you can trust and who has your best interests at the forefront. They should have solid communication skills, provide feedback on showings and market changes, and match your style of correspondence. They should be experienced with years in the business selling homes. Top rated real estate agents are also skilled negotiators, securing the best price, terms and conditions for their clients.

When seeking out the services of a listing agent, it’s critical that you approach them with one question in mind: How will you market my property? Most everything falls in line under this concern. First, what is their knowledge of your neighborhood? This prospective agent should have a firm grasp of buyer preferences, what’s trending locally and recent sales in your school district. Clarify if they’ve sold homes similar to yours.

How To Choose An Agent

At the end of the day, there are numerous criteria to consider when selecting a real estate professional. Make no mistake about it, top rated real estate agents take effort to discover, but your research can pay dividends. Purchasing the home you always wanted for less than its market value through an agent’s negotiation skills is most certainly worth the effort. Likewise, selling your property for the best price possible despite current conditions, because an agent is familiar with your neighborhood and has done an exceptional job marketing it to prospective buyers, is most certainly worth the hard work of detecting an agent who suits your needs. At Realty Network Group, we pride ourselves in working hard for clients as we look to understand their goals, first and foremost.

As their agent, I’m able to guide them in finding the perfect home or selling theirs or both!”

Prior to real estate, Alicia, with experience in masonry and construction, built commercial swimming pools as well as worked as a full-time preload supervisor for UPS. In addition to presently being employed as an independent contractor for FedEx and being a mother of two boys, she enjoys representing homebuyers and sellers throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania (NEPA). “Whether it’s being an independent contractor for FedEx or Realty Network Group, I want to continue to challenge myself,” maintains Alicia. “In both of my positions, it’s critical that I heighten my attention to detail and go above and beyond for my customers.”

Someone You Can Count On

A real estate career is truly unique, unlike any profession you’ll discover. Those who have been connecting buyers and sellers for some time will tell you no two transactions are alike and there are hurdles along the way – many! Realty Network Group’s newest agent, Florence Avvisato, is eagerly awaiting the challenges that will inevitably appear for her seller and buyer clients in 2023. This industry is always changing, in fact there’s never been a time which has mimicked the past three years in real estate. Florence recognizes present opportunities not only for her clients, but also for her personal growth.

We recently sat down with her to find out where she sees herself in five years. Furthermore, we were impressed with her ability, in the first place, to anticipate the skills needed to be successful. “On the surface, real estate is a challenging space, and that appeals to me,” remarks Florence. “Because this industry grants flexibility for originality and possibilities for those willing to pull in the time, there are a variety of ways individuals can thrive. I believe this gives people the ability to excel creatively, and for that reason, real estate will always be stimulating.” Her forward-thinking approach will be an asset to her clients, who can count on her integrity and ambition, as she seeks to go above and beyond to meet their needs.

Years from now, Florence envisions many of her strengths, which she learned or fine-tuned in the hospitality and medical fields, creating advantages for her homebuyers and sellers. Her experience in hospitality taught her how to be humble. She learned the importance of punctuality, accommodation, thriving under pressure and attention to detail. Each of these traits are often sorely missed in our business. For instance, her ability to “read the room” and meet people in their present situation in order to effectively communicate is an exceptional quality for a REALTOR® to possess today. Moreover, similar to how customers notice the details of their surroundings (such as a restaurant), buyers notice how a property shows or if their agent is someone they can relate to and trust. If people don’t like what they see, they’re not coming back!

As someone starting a new career in real estate, she believes it’s critical for people to know they can count on her. “I truly care about buyers and sellers, and being their trusted guide through one of life’s most monumental moments,” reveals Florence. “I don’t take a purchase or sale of this size lightly. I knew I wanted to team up with a Brokerage, who supports their REALTORS®, one who provides ample training. Realty Network Group is what I perceive as an incredibly safe space for learning, and learning is my key objective at this point.” She sees the value in a firm that provides excellent training, understanding that the more she knows, the better service she can provide to her clientele. She saw a great reputation in Realty Network Group, one with a strong foundation of integrity and ethical practice.  “The way people perceive you is greatly attributed to how you treat and carry out business with them,” asserts Florence.

She’s lived in Northeastern Pennsylvania, specifically the Wyoming Valley, for over the past two decades, but she’s very familiar with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area. She loves that NEPA allows for a variety of lifestyles and provides so many places to explore. She’s a devoted wife and mother of three and resides in the Back Mountain. She’s an avid outdoorswoman and enjoys doing anything outside, especially gardening or hiking through national parks. She’s currently training to run her second half marathon race in March.

If you’re in need of the services of a real estate professional, someone who has a positive demeanor, who’s highly motivated and energetic, and who tries to see things from other people’s perspectives, then Florence Avvisato is the agent for you! You can reach her directly via 272-446-0407 or favvisato@realtynetwork.net.

What’s A Real Estate Broker? And What Do I Do When I Find One?

,

The search for a home begins online. It has for some time. In fact, consumers are surveying the terrain and pouncing on anything that hits the market like a school of piranha, unsure of when their next opportunity to eat will surface. You can’t blame homebuyers either. Today, the ones that remain, still looking to purchase, have repeatedly struck out in their attempts for homeownership. Now, feeling the pressures of inflation, higher mortgage rates and rising home prices, they’re looking to get in before the door closes on their “must-haves” and what they can afford.

The winds of a housing shortage have shifted, new listings with a slowdown in purchases have given way to more selection – finally some welcomed news for prospective shoppers. Yet the search becomes very real for them as they exit the digital environment, previewing actual houses, and doing so in a more urgent manner than buyers did only three years ago. Buyers should rely on the services of a real estate professional whenever possible, because representation is critical for protecting the interest of buyer-clients, especially in this market. And you probably have questions.

What type of real estate professionals exist today and what do they look like? There are four main distinctions homebuyers should be aware of, and they are: real estate agents, REALTORS®, REALTORS® with an ABR® designation and Brokers.

  • Real estate agents – Independent contractors who are connecting buyers and sellers and are licensed to help others rent, buy or sell real estate. Licensure requirements vary from state to state. These professionals should not be confused with REALTORS®, but regularly are.
  • REALTORS® – Licensed real estate agents who are also members of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) and must likewise adhere to this organization’s code of ethics. These professionals can include real estate appraisers, salespeople, Brokers and more.
  • REALTORS® with ABR® designation – Members of NAR who have a particular skill set and frequently work with homebuyers in their day-to-day business. These professionals are usually more in accord with the trends affecting buyers and are equipped with knowledge to help their buyer-clients succeed.
  • Brokers – Licensed professionals who further their education, and if they so desire, can open their own real estate firm, hiring independently contracted agents to work under them. They perform many of the same tasks as the agents they hire, but there’s a distinction between the two.

A handful of real estate agents become Brokers after a period of time in the business. Often those pursuing licensure as a Broker are ready to dedicate more study to this field. They’ve firmly planted themselves within the real estate turf surrounding them. Having said that, real estate agents who aren’t Brokers can and are certainly encouraged to dedicate more time and study to the business as well.

What is it like to be a Broker? “The dynamics of real estate have changed significantly over the past five years, but the standards of practice remain the same,” emphasizes Dianne Montana, Principal Broker for Realty Network Group. “I enjoy working with a talented group of professionals, helping them thrive, ultimately paving the way for our clients to buy and sell successfully.” Being a Broker allows for additional independence (more than solely being an independent contractor), but with that comes greater responsibility. Brokers are responsible for supervising the agents in their Brokerage and ensuring the office/company is in compliance with national and state real estate laws and regulations. Real estate Brokers face their fair share of liability as well, and as such, it’s important for Brokers to possess an advanced skill set in order to be both distinguished and ethical.

As a homebuyer, which of these four types should you seek when actively looking to acquire property? There’s no clear cut choice, but a REALTOR® is definitely a great starting point. Those specializing in servicing buyers generally provide the best opportunity. Furthermore, a REALTOR® with an ABR® designation could be a perfect match, especially for first-time homebuyers. Can you go wrong with a Broker? Usually not, but it’s imperative that those pursuing real estate do their due diligence in finding a professional they can work well with, one who actively listens and has a tract record for success.
