Working with a Mediocre Buyer Agent? Don't! |

Are you finding yourself working with a mediocre Buyer Agent who just does not seem to get it? Are you feeling that he or she is doing a substandard, or poor, job? Does this agent not seem to be representing YOUR interests, as you expected and hoped?
Or, if you have not yet made that decision to hire an agent, are you concerned about having to face these issues by hiring the wrong person?
Unfortunately, this is not an uncommon occurrence in the world of real estate. And as an agent, I am embarassed to admit that. Yes, it's a tough job - there is a lot of work to do, problems to solve, and things do not always go the way you and your client would like.
- Some agents just don't act as if they care about their job or how well they do it
- Some are only focussed on making the commission, rather than their main focus being YOU, the client.
- There are agents who do not follow-up in a timely manner (say, making appointments, answering questions, or responding to your calls and emails)
- Others do not seem to know all that they should be doing to represent you in the transaction., or they don't understand the paperwork or disclosures well enough to explain them to you
So, what can you do?
Have a great weekend!
