Guiding You Through Your Home buying Journey

Ep. 5 - Realtors: Building Your Team

The real estate agent (sometimes referred to as a realtor, or broker) is one the first people that you’ll need to add to your team.

If the buyer is the GM of the team, the realtor is one of the star players (the quarterback? Is this right?). You need an A player in this seat on the bus.

To lead off the episode…

We asked what the most important consideration should be in hiring an agent. 

In this video, Chris shares excerpts from interviews with realtors to discuss:

  • How important an initial connection is when reaching out to a realtor.
  • Connections – does your realtor have them?
  • What can buyers expect from their agent? What actually happens?
  • How should your real estate agent approach open housings & other listings?
  • The critical role they play in structuring the offer on a house you like.

  • Focus on your home search, knowing your financing is in Poli’s expert hands.
  • Find out exactly what home price you qualify for and shop with comfort
  • Improve your chances for homebuying success, since sellers heavily favor offers with pre-approvals from reputable lenders.

PROMISE TO SELLER.

PROMISE TO BUYER. In the event that radius issues a Bad Pre-Approval to Buyer on an Eligible Transaction, radius will reimburse Buyer reliance expenses up to one thousand dollars ($1,000) for a home inspection, appraisal, or legal expenses actually paid out-of-pocket by Buyer, subject to the terms and conditions herein.
