Whether buying or selling it is important that you work with a full time agent. You want someone fully devoted to your real estate transaction every day it needs attention, not only on the days they are off from their “full time job”
Obviously we all deserve time off, even Realtors. However along with the full time agent, you want an agent who has someone who will cover their business while they are on vacation, or taking a day off or whatever the case may be.
I am currently in the middle of a transaction where the other side needs to request an extension for the closing date. My clients are agreeable to this, and I asked the other agent to send the request over in writing. The response was “I am on vacation this week with limited computer access, so I will get it to you first thing Monday”
That is fabulous, they need the extension, but their agent who is getting paid equal to what I am getting paid is on vacation and unable to do her job, and has no one that can cover for her.
So do your self a favor when you are thinking of buying or selling. Interview agents and don’t be afraid to ask these questions:
Are you full time?
Do you have someone who can cover for you in case of emergency or vacation?
And if you or someone you know are looking to buy, build or sell in the central Indiana area feel free to contact me and ask those questions! You can reach me at 317-807-1568 or dawnwhalen@remax.net
