The first step to matching you with the perfect home usually involves an in-depth interview with the REALTOR® who will help you to establish a price range and determine the features that you need in a home.
The agent will ask a lot of questions. Where do you work? Are schools an important factor? Do you have children or pets? Do you have hobbies that will create special needs? The more information your agent has, the easier it will be to eliminate the homes that will not work for you and show you the ones in your price range that should fit your needs. A good Realtor can be a tremendous resource in this process by providing you with information about the homes that are available, as well as about shopping facilities, community services, public transportation, and neighborhood amenities. There is more to being a great real estate professional than merely marketing. The best Realtors are also the best listeners and counselors.
