What to Expect From a Real Estate Agent

Your real estate agent is there to represent your best interests. Make sure you read any contracts before you sign them so you know exactly what to expect but the following tips should give you a general idea of what to expect. Sellers agents should be aggressively marketing your property, including running advertising and holding open house events. Nesbitt Realty and Condo Alexandria place a special emphasis on Internet marketing because we believe that's the future of real estate sales and the most effective way to find your home's buyer. As a home buyer, you should expect your realtor to listen to your needs and your budget, and show you properties that fit your criteria. For busy buyers who don't want to worry with the details we offer additional services such as helping to set up utilities, recommending services such as carpet cleaners, and other extras. Most agents will ask you to sign an exclusivity contract for a set period of time, but if you are uncomfortable with the terms don't hesitate to ask the agent for a shorter period of exclusivity.
