Buying a home is a big and lasting decision, just as selling a home is often a large part of a new stage in life. So the agent you choose to help you with the buying or selling of your home should be one who understands who you are, where you are in your home-ownership journey, and what you really need at this juncture.

Any agent can show you listings in your area, because every agent has access to the listings in the MLS, or Multiple Listing Service. In fact, in today’s Internet age, listings have become searchable by everyone. But choosing exclusive representation with an agent or team of agents means they are invested in you and your specific needs and goals. By committing to a single broker, they are in turn more committed to you.

So, how do you know whom to trust when buying or selling your home? An agent worth your commitment demonstrates their salt with their superior knowledge of the area in which you are trying to buy or sell a property. This includes expertise concerning area schools, market trends, employment rates, the state of the local economy, and much more. Also important is an agent’s record of success even in these rough economic times. And speaking of experience, an experienced agent can help buyers spot potential problems, including structural problems, design flaws or contractual issues, that might otherwise go undetected.
