Buying or selling a property is a major financial decision, and having the right realtor can make all the difference in the process. Unfortunately, not all realtors are created equal, and some may not have your best interests in mind.
Signs you may have a lousy realtor
Poor Communication Skills
Not picking up your calls? No email updates? Simply not listening? One of the most significant traits of a lousy realtor is poor communication skills. They may not be responsive to your calls or emails, or they may fail to keep you updated on the progress of your transaction.
A lousy realtor may also fail to listen to your needs and preferences, which can lead to misunderstandings or frustration. Poor communication can lead to delays, misunderstandings, and even worse, may result in missed opportunities, which can harm your chances of a successful real estate transaction.
Lack of Professionalism
Is your realtor late for your appointments? Using unprofessional language? Another trait of a lousy realtor is a lack of professionalism. They may be late for appointments or fail to show up altogether. They may use unprofessional language or speak disrespectfully of others involved in the process. A lack of professionalism can harm your reputation as a client and lead to missed opportunities for buying or selling a property.
Inexperience or Lack of Knowledge
Did your realtor not know about the requirement for a sewer certification required in your county? Did they recommend an outrageously high listing price without checking the comps? A lousy realtor may also lack experience or knowledge of the local real estate market. They may not have a good understanding of pricing or may fail to provide accurate information on the property. A lousy realtor may not be familiar with the local laws or regulations, which can lead to legal issues or delays in the transaction. Inexperience or a lack of knowledge can lead to missed opportunities or a failed real estate transaction.
The Takeaway
Unfortunately, a lousy realtor can harm your chances of a successful real estate transaction.
