Are you searching for a Portland Oregon Real Estate
Agent? If so, you’ve come to the right place.
In this article I will share with you five key
attributes you must look for in a Real Estate agent BEFORE you hire them to
help you sell a home in Portland.
#1 – They Have To Be a Great Listener
The first key attribute you must look for in a
Portland Oregon real estate agent is that they have to be a great listener. Listening is an important attribute that all
Realtor’s must have because this will give you confidence that your agent will
understand your goals in selling your home.
It will also prevent them from missing critical details and information
that you share about your home that may help in selling it or the information
may be crucial to the buyers of the home.
#2 – Your Agent Must Be Honest and Have Integrity
Before saying yes to choosing a Realtor you must
confirm that they are honest and have full integrity to represent your best
interests. You can research a Realtor’s
integrity by reading feedback from their former clients online, asking for
referrals, and checking with the state to make sure they are in good standing
and don’t have any prior violations.
#3 – Problem Solver
Another important attribute of a real estate agent
is if they are a problem solver or not.
They must be able to represent your best interests when it comes to
selling your home should problems arise during your real estate transaction. Often times Realtors can find solutions using
creative ideas that result in a quick and easy resolution.
#4 – Local Expert
Make sure your agent is a local expert and
specializes in the area of Portland where your home is located. If your agent knows the neighborhood well and
is aware of the school district, area businesses, public transportation and
other benefits which come from living in that neighborhood they will be able to
more accurately market your home and easily answer questions that buyers may
have. They will also be able to focus on
the benefits your neighborhood has to offer.
#5 – Hustle Mentality
Hiring a Realtor ® who has honesty, integrity, is a
problem solver and local expert are all key ingredients of finding the right
agent. Just as important as these
attributes is hiring an agent who has a “hustle” mentality and is ready to go
the extra mile to help find the right buyer for your home.
