Most people will tell you that real estate agents are all the same so it really doesn’t matter which one you decide to hire. If you practice that philosophy, you are guaranteed to have a hard time selling or buying a house.
Top producing real estate agents know the market and know how to position your house to sell in that market. They sell houses like chefs prepare exquisite cuisine in high-end restaurants. On the other end of the scale are real estate agents that overprice their listings, don’t market them correctly and don’t aggressively sell their listings, relying solely on fate to sell their listings. Bad agents are like cooks, shoveling greasy food in fast food restaurants. Do you want to hire a chef (top producing real estate agent) or a cook (bad real estate agent)? You should focus on hiring chefs. « Continue reading article »

Imagine this scenario. It’s been 120 days since your agent put a for sale sign in your yard. On the day you hired your Realtor, she promised it would be a successful working relationship.

Because we hand-select our agents on a case-by-case basis, our agent selection process is different from most referral-based companies.

The Amazing Jonathan, a famous comedian/magician, once said, “There are three types of people in the world, those that can count and those that can’t.” You may have to read it a couple of times before you catch the joke. I believe real estate agents can be similarly categorized too. I rank agents according to the title of a Clint Eastwood western. I believe there are three types of agents in the world, the good, the bad, and the ugly. You want the good agent, you should avoid the bad agent and you should live in fear of the ugly agent.
