What Makes a Good Real Estate Agent

Being a good real estate agent means you take on a variety of roles. You are a salesperson, a buyer's advocate, a negotiator, a business manager, a consultant, and a community expert to name a few.

What are some good traits  a real estate agent should possess?

Creativity- to help market a home successfully and find solutions for problems that may turn up during the transaction.

Self-motivation-  You are your own boss.  You have the potential to do as much business as you'd like.  It takes a lot of hard work and dedication but your potential is limitless.

Honesty is a key part of being a real estate agent.  You are required to disclose what you know about the property to your clients. Honesty is always the best policy.

Having an interest in real estate is a big plus.  If you love real estate and the whole architecture of homes, you will never feel it's a job if you love every aspect of it.

A caring attitude is a big part of being a real estate agent.  This is a big step in your client's life filled with anxiety and indecision.  Having a warm, caring personality will help your clients through their transaction with less worry.

Having attention to detail is a great trait to have.  There are many minute parts to a real estate transaction and you have to be thorough in your job and dot every i and cross every t.

Learning is a big part of being a great real estate agent.  Keeping up with tech trends to help your clients navigate the market more smoothly is important as well as learning about the neighborhoods and schools of the communities you are serving. Keeping up to date with new laws and trends is important too.
