I became a real estate agent, to help families. Your agent has a very special job, that is to look out for your best interest. Many Realtors forget this. Both as a customer and as a professional I have seen this. You should never feel like your agent is taking advantage of you or forcing you into a decision you don't want to make. At the end of the day, it's your money and your home. That's where "Common Cents" comes in. I believe in being honest with my clients and helping them to make an informed decision. I treat each client like I would my own family. It is important for a real estate agent to listen, identify the clients needs and assess how to help them attain their goal. A good agent will be available for questions, concerns and advice. Buying or selling your home is a big deal, hire a good Realtor.
