3 Questions to Ask Your Realtor(R)
You already know that you need to assemble a rockstar team if you’re going to be investing in real estate – and that team needs to include great contractors, the right hard money lender and an experienced, talented Realtor®.
However, it’s important that you know not all Realtors are equally talented when it comes to finding the best real estate investments in Atlanta. In fact, some Realtors aren’t specialists when it comes to letting you know whether an investment property is too expensive or even whether it would make a good investment.
In order to find the right Realtor for your team, you need to ask potential agents several questions to make sure you are making the right choice.
3 Questions to Ask Your Realtor
Not Realtors or real estate agents (there is a difference) are created equal. You can make the right choice by starting with these questions:
- How long have you been in business? Typically, it’s preferable to work with an experienced agent. However, that’s not always the case – a new agent who’s highly motivated can do a very good job of finding you the right real estate investments.
- Have you dealt with foreclosures before? Some agents have never dealt with foreclosures, but they require a specialized skill set.
- How quickly can I expect you to the act when I find the property I want? Real estate is a customer service oriented business, but some agents aren’t very good with follow-up. You know the you need someone who can act quickly, so make sure your agent gives an answer you can live with.
