Did you know....
- that Realtors under the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) adhere to a strict Code of Ethics and Standards of Business Practice. The code of ethics is a firm set of rules, describing what kind of performance you have a right to expect from a sales representative. It's your guarantee of professional conduct and the best in service.
That's why many buyers and sellers use a Real Estate Agent. As a member of their local real estate Board, Real Estate Agents in London, Ontario have their finger on the pulse of the housing market and are in daily contact with buyers potentially interested in your home.
- You can trust a REALTOR to protect your interests and to look after details, all the while, you're an active partner in the process. A Realtor's commitment to high standards of professional conduct works to the advantage of buyers and sellers alike.
- A REALTOR will get you the facts: comparable prices, neighborhood trends, housing market conditions and more.
When looking for a local London realtor, interview several of them. Watch how fast they return your initial phone call or email. (this could be a good indicator of how well they'll work on your behalf) Bigger brokerages are not always better...some agents are so super busy, they can't possibly devote all their attention on you! OUCH! that could pose a problem if you are on a deadline!
Focus on the agent’s personality. Is it a good fit? How friendly is the person? How confident does he or she seem to be? Personality means a lot in this business. The friendlier and more confident the agent is, the more comfortable a buyer or a seller will be in dealing with your agent.
Next, does your agent REALLY know what you are looking for? Have they "interviewed" you and asked enough questions to know how to find you that perfect house or investment property that cash flows?
Choose an agent who can and will provide other services. Will they preview houses before they take you? or will the "charming house" advertised be a nasty surprise to both of you? Will they help arrange a house inspection, refer you to qualified lending professionals and real estate attorneys, and conduct a study of the property's value?
Shelley O'Hara, author of 'The Complete Idiot's Guide to Buying & Selling a Home,' says, "When you announce your desire to purchase a house, you may be surprised at the number of real estate people who want to represent you. Agents come out of the woodwork. You won't have to worry too much about finding an agent -- you do need to worry about finding a good one."
If you are moving to our great and wonderful city, you need an agent willing and ready to work hard on your behalf. There are many licensed Realtors and real estate agents in London Ontario, but only a handful that will go the extra mile and provide exceptional service you'll never forget.
