I have a theory of business that “like attracts like”. It’s no different when choosing a Realtor to help in the sale of your home whether or the purchase of a new home whether in Portland, Oregon or Timbuktu. I know the most successful business relationships come from referrals from my existing client base. But, every business relationship has to start somewhere. So, a second good way to establish a business connection is through “web relationships”. Blogging & social media has replaced the conventional web site basically because it allows the buying public to feel a connection with the blogger or participant. An online relationship can evolve through an understanding of the personalities and core values. A business mission should convey those core values. And, not just generic values like honesty, integrity….those should be assumed for any business relationship. Convey your core values through your example! I’m frugal, conscientious with my money, I always run the numbers. I own investment property and absolutely believe that over the long haul real estate is still definitely one of the most attractive investments. Why is that? A house is home & hearth for your primary residence, you can establish a budget based on an established mortgage amount (as opposed to rent which tends to increase) and it feels good. An investment property is something you can drive by to look and touch, it’s a great write-off and someone else pays (at least most) of your costs. There will be no pressure because you must determine how this investment will work for you (with any help I can give).
Anyway, I digress from how to choose an agent. Choose based on your core values and needs. This is a business relationship with a lot of personal connection. You will find that you will be speaking with your agent a lot more than you want to talk with anyone besides friends and family! Make sure your core values are “heard and understood”.
