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.

We had a great experience working with Jim

We had a great experience working with Jim. The process of refinancing our home mortgage was fast and efficient, and we secured a great interest rate! Jim was very personable, never too busy to take a little extra time to explain something we had a question on, and always kept us updated as to where we were in the process. We appreciated that much of the paperwork could be completed on line. Truly the best refinance we’ve ever been through. Thanks Jim for a great experience!
