Why Should You Consult A Realtor? Although realtors might specialize in either existing homes, new homes or a particular area of town, across the board, a local expert said experience is a key factor in choosing a realtor. Experienced realtors can guide home buyers toward a home that fits their needs, said Karen Gehle, CEO of the Kansas Association of Realtors. She said a realtor should return phone calls and understand the needs of a home buyer. "They have looked at more homes than I have, so I want an agent to help me filter out what homes work for me and what homes won't work for me," Gehle said. Many agents are more informed about homes in a particular market than throughout the entire community. Integrity, a marketing plan and regular communication are benchmarks of a good realtor. In addition to experience, Gehle said, a realtor should have their property listings on the Internet for increased exposure.

    Although realtors might specialize in either existing homes, new homes or aparticular area of town, across the board, a local expert said experience is a keyfactor in choosing a realtor.

    Experienced realtors can guide home buyers toward a home that fits their needs,said Karen Gehle, CEO of the Kansas Association of Realtors. She said a realtorshould return phone calls and understand the needs of a home buyer.

    "They have looked at more homes than I have, so I want an agent to help me filterout what homes work for me and what homes won't work for me," Gehle said.

    Many agents are more informed about homes in a particular market than throughoutthe entire community. Integrity, a marketing plan and regular communication arebenchmarks of a good realtor.

  • A seller should look for a realtor who will get their home in market condition. Thehome should compare with other homes already on the market.

    If a home isn't up to par, Gehle said the seller will start the process at adisadvantage.

    "I hope they would say 'well, you might need a fresh coat of paint here.' I want themto tell me. If it's a fresh coat of paint or carpet, I hope they would have thatexperience and share that with me."

    On the flip side, someone in the market for a home should choose a realtor who willlisten to a prospective buyer's concerns. For a first-time buyer, a realtor shouldclearly explain the home-buying process.

    Gehle said older home buyers, for example, might be in the market for a homewithout stairs. She said a real estate agent should be willing to search for a homewith the prospective buyer's specific needs.

    The buyer also should be comfortable having a working relationship with the agent.

    Referrals from friends, neighbors, or co-workers can ease the search for an effectiverealtor. Agents are familiar with current real estate values, taxes, and other costs thatcould sway a purchase.

    Gehle said effective realtors have the tools and information to get a home buyerthrough a seemingly complicated process.

    "I want another pair of trained eyes," Gehle said. "This is the largest purchase I'llmake in my lifetime and I might only do it two or three times. I want someone withexperience there with me."
