Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Real Estate Referral Agent and why should I use one?
A Real Estate Referral Agent is a licensed professional who connects buyers and sellers with experienced, vetted, high-quality Realtors. Referral Agents interview Realtors for you to ensure you’re working with someone who is an ideal fit based on your needs and expectations. Great care is taken in connecting you with a Realtor who will provide you with outstanding service. Using the service of a Referral Agent is absolutely free, spares you effort and stress, and frees your time for better things.
Why do I need a Realtor?
Great Realtors operate by a code of ethics and will serve you with dedication and loyalty. Buying or Selling a home is a big transaction. Aside from countless complex documents, there are timelines and legal requirements that could be costly if misunderstood. Finding or Marketing homes for the best possible price, as quickly as possible, requires market knowledge, tools, resources, and connections. Identifying possible issues and detecting red flags require vigilance and experience. Great Realtors support and guide you through this entire process with skill and precision ensuring a smooth and successful transaction.
How long does it take to be connected with a Realtor?
Once you submit your questionnaire, I’ll reach out to you within 24 hours to discuss your details, specific needs, and expectations. I’ll immediately get to work finding you the perfect Realtor and typically be able to place you within the next day; or, if you submit your questionnaire over the weekend or a holiday, you’ll be placed within the next business day or two.
What can I do if I’m unhappy with my current Realtor?
This is a difficult situation but you may have some options depending on the type of agreement you’ve signed and its terms. In some cases you can request to cancel the agreement, ask for a different Realtor, or let the agreement expire; but, carefully review the details as there may be costs or penalties involved. If communicating directly with the Realtor doesn’t resolve the issues, consult with the broker.
