AGENT EXPECTATIONS | 6 WHAT YOU SHOULD EXPECT FROM YOUR AGENT HONESTY MARKETING TIMELY INNOVATIVE RESPONSIVE NEGOTIATOR Honesty is an extremely important quality for a real estate agent to uphold. The selling process can already be complicated enough, but an agent who does not openly and honestly communicate with their clients can make it much worse. Selling and moving based on a timetable can be emotionally draining. While your agent cannot pick the exact date of your move, they should be conscious of your needs and exert any influence they can to make it work. You will want to know what your agent is doing to get your home sold and if, or when, any challenges arise. Good agents will know how to deliver good news, but great agents know how to deliver the good and the not- so-good news, all of which you need to know. A real estate agent needs to have a strong balance of both “older” marketing tactics such as direct mail networking and “newer” marketing tactics such as social media in their plan! Staying current on the latest real estate technology is extremely important for agents. Utilizing technology helps a real estate agent be more efficient and have more time to spend on selling your home. The job of a real estate agent who is representing a seller, in a nut-shell, is to get the most money for their client’s home in the least amount of time! A real estate agent should know what to say to a buyer’s representative and when to say it. Tyler Minges, HUFF Realty | SELLER’S GUIDE TO REAL ESTATE
