Tis the season for love, and although we shouldn’t think about who we love or why we love them on just one day a year, this is a good time to appreciate the people in our lives. Yes, even your Realtor®.
Here are just a few reasons to love your Realtor® or to know you’re working with a Realtor® worthy of your love, on Valentine’s Day and all year long.
- Your Realtor® takes your frantic call while you wait to see if your offer will be accepted.
- Your Realtor® will sweep the floor, straighten the pictures, and make your house smell great during an open house.
- Your Realtor® answers all of your questions from how title insurance works to whether you should keep your fuchsia carpet (no, by the way).
- Your Realtor® understands what’s going on in the market and can explain it to you.
- Your Realtor® explains why the price you want for your home isn’t realistic for the local market.
- Your Realtor® helps you make a good and competitive offer on the home of your dreams.
- Your Realtor® has been known to walk the dog, check your mail, or put out a welcome mat, plant, or anything else to help during the craziness of selling your home.
- Your Realtor® lets you know what’s going on in the process.
- Your Realtor® is there for the home inspection.
- Your Realtor® will fight if your appraisal comes back lower than expected.
- Your Realtor® can recommend the best professionals for a mortgage, title insurance, insurance, and everything else you need to buy a home.
- Your Realtor® never leaves you hanging when you’re waiting for an answer.
- Your Realtor® communicates in the way that works best for you – whether text, email, phone call, or Facebook Messenger.
- Your Realtor® will share the showing feedback they get – even when it’s not something you want to hear. (Told you the fuchsia carpet was a bad idea.)
- Your Realtor® is someone you can depend on.
- Your Realtor® is someone you’ll gladly recommend to your friends and family.
If you’re working with a Realtor® who isn’t doing anything to inspire love – or at least respect, it might be time to find a new agent.
