How to Find a Real Estste Agent in Cnetral Oregon!

How to Find a Real Estate Agent in Central Oregon to Meet Your Needs:
Selling or buying a house is likely to be one of the biggest financial transactions of your lifetime, making it crucial to find a qualified agent! Many people wonder why they would need an agent in the first place, and think that agents only want a commission, and do not really care about your wants and needs!
The truth is... when you are buying a home, it is the sellers paying the commission, not YOU the buyer. Having a realtor is also important because they are familiar with the area, they are seasoned negotiators, they may know of properties that are not yet on the market, and can help you find good lenders as well as other exceptional financial advisors. 
7 Tips to Help you Find the Perfect Agent!
Whether you are buying or selling, here are some tips to help you on your journey to finding the perfect realtor for you!
1. Meet agents in their working environment. Go to open houses and talk to different agents.
2. Find an agent with experience! If you are listing your home, find an agent who exclusively does listings. If you are buying, make sure you are working with a buyers broker.
3. Talk with friends or family and see what realtor they used and if that realtor produced good results! There is a good chance, that realtor will do the same for you!
4. Have a tech savvy agent! 85% of all buyers initially see potential homes online! A real estate agent in today's world must email, text and be familiar with online marketing!
5. Interview several agents. Whether you are buying or selling, you want a realistic agent, not someone who only tells you what you want to hear. If you sign a buyers agreement, remember you or the agent can still decide you do not want to work with each other!
6. Make sure your agent is knowledgeable. Local knowledge is particularly critical and your agent should be able to answer important questions about the community. Your agent should also know the different lenders and service providers in the area as well!
7. How will your realtor keep you informed about your transaction? While there is no correct answer, you want to make sure your realtor corresponds frequently with you about your transaction. Different realtors have different methods and you need to find out what you are most comfortable with.
