Choosing the Right Realtor for Maximum B...

Picture yourself shopping in a shoe store.  As you look through the vast amount of options, you know that you want something that is going to be the right fit, will give you the feeling of comfort, and will be dependable through wherever you are planning on wearing them. Strangely enough, choosing a realtor causes you to go through a similar thought process. 

What You Want in a Realtor

When choosing a realtor, you ideally want to find a someone who is the right fit for you and what you want to accomplish, someone who leaves you comfortable and at ease with every step of the process, and of course someone who will be dependable at all times until your needs are fully met.  However, unlike searching for shoes, there are some more complex details to consider when searching for the perfect realtor.  Some of these details include:

• Commitment: A realtor who is committed to you acts in a true fiduciary (consultant) capacity. This is a special relationship of trust, confidence and responsibility to you.  These full time advisors are highly educated and provide expert guidance for you.
• Negotiation Skills: The ability to negotiate and influence others ultimately optimizes YOUR overall value and maximizes YOUR net profit.  Finding a highly skilled negotiator should be a top priority.
• Market Pricing Expertise: Pricing your home correctly from the beginning is absolutely key to getting the best price for your home.  Price your home too high initially and you’ll likely have to take a below market price later.
• Contract Understanding: The Connecticut Purchase Agreement (plus other legal documents) requires in-depth knowledge and understanding to protect you from lawsuits and other legal liabilities.  Knowledge of all legal documents also helps ensure your deal won’t fall apart due to a technicality.
• Full Time Professional: A full time realtor (vs. part time) will always be available to you.   A full time realtor also has time to invest in training and development which ultimately benefits you.
• Overall Experience: A broad background and varying experiences helps develop the ability to handle complex situations which can lead to better results for you.

Making the Final Decision

Once you have gone through the various choices of realtors and you find that perfect fit, you’re on your way to accomplishing your property desires.  At Carbutti and Co. Realtors, we invite you to come and meet the members of our team.  We pride ourselves on doing everything we can to help you reach your property goals, and we’re confident that one of our exceptional agents will be the right fit for you.
