Choosing the Right Realtor

Before choosing a Realtor to represent you in the sale of your home, it’s worth taking the time to do a little homework. This isn’t just a transaction — it’s your home, your investment, and a significant life moment. You deserve thoughtful guidance, honest advice, and a level of care that makes you feel confident. 

Great service matters, but so does personality. There isn’t a “right” or “wrong” personality style — what matters most is finding someone who feels like the right fit for you. A strong connection and mutual trust often lead to a smoother experience and a more successful sale.

Here are a few important things to consider

Photo & Video Quality

Today, most buyers begin their search online, which makes strong visuals one of the most important parts of a listing. Ask whether your Realtor is willing to invest in a professional photographer and videographer. High-quality images, drone images and thoughtfully produced video help your home stand out, tell its story, and create a powerful first impression that attracts more serious buyers.

Website & Social Media

A strong online presence, both through a personal website and brokerage platforms, helps ensure your home reaches the widest possible audience. When used thoughtfully, social media can connect your listing with thousands of potential buyers.

Testimonials

One of the best ways to understand what working with a Realtor is like is to hear from past clients. Their experiences often say more than any marketing ever could.

Work Experience

Experience matters. How long has the Realtor been in the business? How many transactions have they successfully guided clients through?

Life Experience

Buying or selling a home isn’t just a business decision — it’s a life moment. Working with a Realtor who has lived through the experience themselves can make a difference in how supported and understood you feel along the way.
