Choosing a Real Estate Agent

3.1 Buying a home requires making many important financial decisions, understanding complex issues and completing a lot of paperwork. It helps to have an expert in your corner when undertaking such a large purchase. Our real estate team can guide you through the process, and we can also get you access to area property listings before they hit the general market.

3.2 Here are some factors to consider when choosing a real estate agent in
New Jersey:

• Look for a full-time team of realtors who have experience completing transactions similar to yours.
• Look for an agent who holds the coveted ABR designation (Accredited Buyer’s Representative).  That means they specialize in assisting home buyers in identifying their life style needs and finding the best home in the right locations.
• Interview a few agents: Are they familiar with the area you are interested in?
• Ask how much time the agent will have for you, and if they have a licensed assistant.
• Ask about their credentials and education: A good agent will continually strive to improve and gain knowledge of the latest real estate trends.
• Does the agent return your calls promptly? Time is money when attempting to buy a home.
• Ask for a list of recent buyers that they’ve assisted.
• Choose an agent who listens attentively to your needs and concerns. Pick an agent with whom you feel comfortable.   Make sure that you can establish a good rapport with them.  Will they take the time to listen to your goals and clarify your needs?  Can they understand your unique situation and be genuinely concerned about the outcome of the process? Your agent will be your guide and partner in this crucial decision, so it's important to find one you can get along with.
