Home Buying: Building a Reputation as a Superb Buyer’s Agent

So much of succeeding in the real estate business depends on your reputation. Here are three guiding principles to follow for building a reputation as a buyer’s agent that will bring in business.

  1. Be a clear communicator. If you have questions, don’t be afraid to ask the listing agent or buyer. Communicate with your buyers to educate them on the process and manage their expectations. Err on the side of over-communicating so that everyone is always on the same page. Being a clear communicator establishes you as a professional and builds trust with your clients and business partners.
  2. Respect sellers’ time and property. It’s key to maintain good relationships with local selling agents, so make sure to be polite, professional, and respectful. Work with your listing agent’s schedule, and when you’re doing a showing, treat the home with care.
  3. Get to know your clients. You don’t need to be best friends with every client, but taking the time to get to know their needs and motivations will help you provide the kind of experience they’re seeking.

Every buyer’s agent will have different advice on how to succeed and build a strong reputation, but most of the advice boils down to one of the three tips above. By focusing on communicating and building mutual trust and respect with sellers’ agents and clients, you’ll quickly establish yourself as a trusted partner for anyone looking to buy a home.

Andrea L. Testimonial

I want to thank you for making the process of establishing a loan so easy for us. As a real estate agent in Denver, I have the opportunity to work with a lot of lenders – I know the good ones from the bad ones. And YOU are definitely one of the “good ones”. For my own home purchase, you can imagine how selective I was in working with a lender on our mortgage. I am so glad that we worked with you and CityWide. It’s no secret that the process of procuring a mortgage is extremely stressful, but you made this process as smooth of a transaction that it could have been and given the fact that we lived in Denver, and Marcus was in the middle of a very hectic travel schedule, you met and EXCEEDED our expectations.

Your attention to detail, your personal attention to us and our needs, and your overall professionalism made the biggest difference and the best possible experience for our family. I will recommend you not only to my friends and family but to my clients who are looking for the highest level of service for their mortgage.

Thanks again Jim for everything you did for us. We are so happy to be back home in Naperville, and in our house, that very much feels like home.
