Five Traits to Look for in a Good Vancouver Realtor

A Vancouver real estate agent knows the real estate market in and out.  Here are a few traits that you can look for to know if a particular Vancouver real estate agent is good or not:

1. Great Listener

The best quality of a good realtor is that they are great listeners. They listen to what you want and then make sure to retain it. If you tell them that your budget is maximum $850,000 for suggesting houses to visit, they will ensure that it falls in your price bracket. A great listener will quickly and easily analyze your requirements and will make strategic plan based on your needs.

2. Commanding Communicator

Nobody wants a real estate agent who lists a home and never hears back from them again. People want a realtor who talks with passion about what is going on during the deal. Your Vancouver realtor should let you know exactly how she or he will manage your deal from beginning to end. A realtor that communicates with you regularly should also be in frequent contact with all other parties in the deal to keep you well informed. A good realtor should reply to texts, calls, or emails as fast as possible, especially during business hours.

3. Very Honest

Dishonesty creates mistrust. The clients want a Vancouver realtor they can rely on during the entire sales period. They want the realtor to be honest and straight forward, even if the outcome is not favorable. A truthful, real estate agent will price the property correctly during listing for a quick sale. They will also notify the purchaser about the hidden problems in the home they are looking forward to buying. Getting a trustworthy realtor on your side means you will have nothing to worry about.

4. Incredibly Ethical

A good realtor will be someone who sticks to a firm code of ethics throughout the sales period. Compliance with the Realtor Code of Ethics ensures that relevant transaction details are precise and not withheld. It also regulates:

• Written contractual agreements,

• Both individuals are treated in the same way,

• The best interests of both the parties are secured, among other code requirements.

5. Natural Negotiator

The best Vancouver realtors can seal a contract with smart and effective negotiating abilities. Such excellent negotiators will save your money, with the perks of sealing the deal quickly. Ask a potential real estate agent to explain their most difficult negotiation and what the results were or provide a complicated case, and figure out how that agent will approach it.
