Whether you’re looking to buy or sell a home, it’s going to be one of the biggest financial transactions of your life. You need to make sure everything is done right and you want to be completely happy with how you will be living for the years to come.

Your real estate agent needs to know the market. This doesn’t just mean the general area, but specific neighborhoods and types of homes. Any real estate agent can process the purchase paperwork, but what you want is an agent’s expertise to help you make the right decisions.

Your real estate agent should also be able to show a clear plan of how they go above and beyond. Do they just throw up a listing in the MLS, or do they know how to create a customized marketing plan that will convey the unique attributes and features of your home?
