Key Considerations and Qualities to Look for in Your Agent
Throughout your wealth-building journey, the engagement of a buyer’s agent becomes pivotal for various aspects. Here are distinct scenarios where their expertise proves invaluable:
-
First-time Home Buyers:
- Ensure your Real Estate Agent has affiliations with reputable lenders to elucidate diverse loan options.
- Assess if your agent possesses a wealth-building strategy, offering insights into long-term investment avenues such as single-family properties for rental income, multifamily units for shared expenses, or properties for equity growth.
- Recognize the intricacies of contract negotiation, with over 16 points of negotiation to secure advantageous terms in multiple-bid situations while safeguarding the buyer.
-
Move-up Buyers:
- Explore purchase options when dealing with an existing property, including selling before buying, buying before selling, converting your current home into a rental for passive income, or leveraging equity for a down payment.
- Inquire about undisclosed properties and gauge the size of your agent’s network, as larger offices may have more access to off-market listings.
- Capitalize on your agent’s relationships, especially with property rehabbers and new construction entities, to unearth additional property opportunities.
-
Investors:
For those contemplating Real Estate investment and seeking passive income, inquire about your agent’s personal Real Estate investments, property portfolio, and inquire about their connections with commercial Real Estate Agents.
