Do not work with a real estate agent unless they have these five character traits:

Trustworthiness: A trustworthy agent sets realistic expectations, outlines their responsibilities, and always acts in your best interests.

Sincerity: Honesty is key. Great agents are straightforward, even when delivering tough news or necessary improvements for your home.

Integrity: They prioritize your needs over their commission and are willing to go the extra mile to facilitate a successful deal.

Work Ethic: Real estate isn’t a 9-to-5 job. Exceptional agents are available beyond regular hours and are committed to your success.

Empathy: They understand that plans can change, and they respect your decisions, even if you choose to take your home off the market or alter the terms of the agreement.

You are trusting someone with one of the biggest investments ever, you want to make sure they are top of the line!
