Kris Krohn here with Limitless Wealth TV and today we're going to be exploring an
answer to the question of how do I find a really good realtor to help me out
with my real estate needs? So here's the question this comes straight off of
Quora. I'm thinking about buying my first house. How do I find a good and reliable
real estate agent? This my friend is a fantastic question because here's the
deal. Realtors can be some of the most amazing
individuals on the planet. They can be totally heartless. They can be idiots.
They can be absolutely brilliant, they can they can go away above and beyond. I
mean there's so many different flavors and the reality is when you have that
license, you really don't know exactly who you're going to be dealing with right? I
love working with realtors because they ensure that the paperwork's deep being
done correctly. They ensure that all the property diligence has happened and so
realtors are really important part of transacting real estate thoroughly. You
need to understand that the majority of realtors are the people that you don't
want to work with. They're not experienced. They're not trained, they
don't really have a philosophy, they don't know who they are. And frankly they
got a license because just like most people were eventually going to do a home
and they did one and they saw their buddy or a friend or somebody make $10,000
or $15,000 and they went through all this effort thinking
they'll build a career out of that. But that doesn't mean that you have someone
that really knows or gets what they're doing. I'd say for every competent
realtor out there, there's got to be at least a hundred incompetent realtors. It
simply means inexperienced and untrained. So you can't just go with anyone to
answer your question on how do you pick them. You're looking for the realtor that
knows who they are and what their niche is. That knows who they are and what
their niches. I would specifically be asking yourself if you're trying to buy
a home, are you buying an investment property? And if it's an investment
property that you're not going to live in, then go find a realtor that specializes
in investments and getting discounts and getting good deals and doing awesome
negotiation skills. If you're finding a home that you guys want to live in and
you don't care about equity and you just want it to be perfect.
Then go fund that realtor that has done lots of volume and it helps first-time
home buyers buy their home and they get it perfect in just right.
They don't care about showing you 50 homes if that's what it takes to get you
in a contract. If you're doing commercial deal, then you need to work with a
realtor, that understands TI and and all the different components of what
commercial real estate brings. I guess what I'm sharing with you here out the
gate is you got to start by working with a realtor that is in the niche where you
need help. Beyond that the second thing that I really look for is personality. I
look for someone that I'd jive with, someone that I can work with, someone that I want
to work with. The third thing that I look for, that in the end maybe one of the
most important, track record. What's her experience level? I'm bit of a brat. I
want to work with someone that has done a lot of transactions instead of a few,
why? because they've learned a lot. They've made mistakes. They've messed up.
And I hope they've learned their lessons so now when I talk with them and I
interview them, they can say things like, "oh I moved you know 19 houses last month
or I just got three new listings." These people should be up to big things. They
should have good things going on. They should be able to give you some
referrals of people that they've worked with. So with all of that information, if
you're saying I'm looking to buy a home in the marketplace, I'm looking for a
quality realtor, how do I find the right one? I hope this information helps you
basically know, that I'm looking for someone that's good at what they do, that
knows how to specialize in helping specifically what I'm looking for,
someone that's got experience, they've gained wisdom from it, they've got track
record and when you find that, they got a personality, like boom! You found your
realtor. Hey, thanks so much for watching today's video.
