Top real estate agents in Canton MI

No more than you would flip a coin on which South East Michigan realtor to hire should you hire an inexperienced friend to represent you.  Would you trust your stock, or mutual funds with a brand new financial broker.  Of course not.  It is the same with a inexperienced realtor.  Your home you are buying is worth hundred's of thousands of dollars.  It is one of the biggest financial decisions you make.  So why trust it to a newbie. 

So how do you find the best realtor in Canton for buying or selling a home or condo.  Here are 

1. Use the internet to find the best real estate agents near you

• Do your research online for the top real estate agents in your area or where you plan to move.

• Hiring a friend or relative as your real estate agent could create some uncomfortable problems.

Don’t make the mistake of settling for a new agent or so-so agent when you could easily find a really good agent who has helped hundreds like you get the job done smoothly and for the best deal.

2. Assess the agents real estate experience

How many years of experience should an realtor?

Helping people buy or sell a Metro Detroit home is a tough job that sometimes involves tough negotiations.  Negotiations that could cost you money.  You will want to find an realtor who has a lot of experience. How much experience is enough? Well, that answer depends on whether you’re buying or selling.

• Buyer’s agent: If you’re buying a home, look for a buyer’s agent who has at least two to five years of full-time real estate experience. A part timer or newbie could get you into all sorts of issues

• Seller’s agent: Selling, on the other hand, is a bit more complicated. You want an agent who’s been working full time for a minimum of four  to ten years.years.

When an agent has 10 or more years of experience, you will know that they have sold in all sorts of markets and handled many problems.

3. They Should Know The Canton Real Estate Market

However stats and data do not always mean much.  Every Canton homes condition is different.  A Canton condo or home that is in poor shape will take longer to sell and will sell for less.  So you cannot down a Canton Realtor track record for taking a home in poor condition.  So stats on how fast a condo sells by a realtor or how many times they have gotten top dollar for a home does not matter.   Like I said real estate experience is a huge factor in who you hire, but it’s equally important that your agent has helped people buy and sell homes in your area. 

Here’s what to look for to determine whether or not the agent you’re interviewing has the local expertise you want:

Find a experienced realtor who either closes at least 25 homes a year or more homes than 90% of the agents in their market. It takes hard work and a good reputation to get that kind of business. A good agent like that is in the real estate trenches every day.

If you are selling your Canton home hire an agent that is experienced, good, and that has low commissions.  Why give away your profits to a realtor that charges full price.  A Canton real estate agent who is that successful will market your home using all the internet tools. 

When it comes to buying a Canton condo or home, working with an realtor who is an good negotiator ensures you aren’t overpaying on your new place.  You want a patient, non pushy agent.

4. Check the Canton Realtor's Track Record

How many people have they helped last year.  You can check their review  It’s important to know that your agent is a top performer. You’re looking for an realtor that works hard for their clients no matter if the client wants to price the home high or doesn't want to improve the condition at all.  You want a good Canton Realtor who gets them to the closing table. There is never a guarantee that the realtor will be able to buy or sell a Canton home or condo within a certain time frame.   It depends on the market and pricing.

5. Learn About Your Canton Real Estate Agent's Customer Service

Whether the Canton Realtor is helping you buy or sell a home or condo, you deserve good service.  You should never have to wait a day or two for a return phone call or respond to a text.  If they responded slowly to your first phone call they probably do it to everybody.  Including the other realtor on the other side.  Slow response time could cost you a sale.  

Communication is key in any real estate transaction whether it is in Canton home or a condo in Royal Oak.  If your realtor is not responding to you in a reasonable amount of time that may be a problem for you.  

6. Hire a Canton Realtor that you like and get along with

Expertise matters, but chemistry also matters with home sales. This is a person you’re going to spend a great deal of time with over the next month or more. If they are confrontational with you, short with you, condescending then do not hire them. The right realtor will make sure you understand the process and carefully answer any questions you have without adding any stress to the mix.

Whether you’re buying or selling a home, finding a Canton Realtor you can trust might just be the most important decision you make. After all, they’ll be helping you sell or buy a home or condo that is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars!  A bad realtor can easily make your home-buying or home-selling experience horrible.  So hire one of the best Canton Realtors possible.  You do not want to hire a rookie agent who might just be winging it. You want a seasoned agent who has what it takes to get the job done.
