5 Keys to choose a real estate agent

1 GIVE A GOOD PRINTING

We all know the phrase " the first impression is what counts ". Well, there is always a tendency to judge people by their appearance, but in this case we do not intend to think about this affirmation in a negative way: Recent studies assure that, when we meet a person, we tend to to create a first opinion and this comes from the instinct and is intrinsic to the human being from its existence as a measure of survival. A good impression is synonymous with trust .

But this is not limited to having a good presence, it is also necessary to give a good deal and show interest in the client (for example, be available by phone and/or email at the stipulated time, etc.).

5 COMMITMENT

The real estate agent must carry out a series of promotional actions and commit to having the house exposed to as many people as possible (using portals, etc.) in order to get the maximum number of potential customers. An agent must become an important ally of the client.
