How to Choose Your Ideal Florida Keys Real Estate Agent
Are you on the hunt for the perfect Florida Keys real estate agent? Here’s a quick guide to make the process a breeze.
Experience: Selling your home is one of the biggest financial decisions most individuals make. You will want someone with experience to handle the sale for you. There is a lot to know about Florida Keys Real Estate, and it takes time and experience to truly understand the market here.
If you do want to give a new agent a try, we suggest asking them to co-list with a more seasoned agent. Everyone has to start somewhere. Additionally, on a positive note, newer agents definitely bring more enthusiasm as they are excited to get started in the business
Local Expertise: Look for an agent who knows the Florida Keys like the back of their hand. If something comes up during the inspection period, and you end up needing a plumber or an electrician, you’re going to want an agent who has connections. It’s in these moments that you’ll be under time restrictions, and finding a reliable person by yourself at the last minute is not what you want to do.
Stellar Communication: A great agent is an excellent communicator. A top real estate agent will provide you with updates at least once a week on your property. Additionally, they should gather showing feedback from the buyer’s agent after every showing and promptly report it to you. You should never feel left in the dark. Once the property goes under contract, your agent should provide you with a timeline of the important dates in the contract. You should always be well-informed.
Proven Track Record: Happy clients and successful deals are strong indicators of a good agent. Look for online testimonials. Additionally, your agent should provide you with a list of references you can call to inquire about their performance.
Personality Match: Choose a Florida Keys Real Estate agent you click with. Real estate is personal, so a good connection matters.
Transparency: An honest agent is a must. No hidden surprises, just straightforward dealings.
Tech-Savvy: Your agent should harness technology for your benefit. Inquire about the types of marketing they employ. If they’re solely relying on professional photos without videos, walk-throughs, 3D tours, or social media, they may be doing the bare minimum.
Pricing Expertise: Your agent should excel in pricing. Every real estate agent should provide you with a comprehensive comparative market analysis. It should compare the features and benefits of different homes on the market with your home. The pricing should make sense to you, and you should feel confident in it before moving forward.
Trust Your Instincts: Ultimately, trust your gut. Your real estate agent should make you feel confident and comfortable.
Choosing a Florida Keys Real Estate agent is a significant decision, but with the right steps, you’ll find the perfect match to help you navigate this paradise. Happy house hunting!
