CHOOSING AN AGENT: 8 Promises of Service that all Good Real Estate Agents should Deliver

When it comes time to sell your property, you should be looking to find good real estate agents primarily because of the service they provide. 

8 Promises come directly to mind when thinking of a top service you can expect from good real estate agents. A prospective agent should be confident in making these commitments and delivering upon. If they can't deliver on all these minimum promises, then they may not be the right agent to sell your home.

We recommend you ask each the following when vetting your prospective agents. If they don't demonstrate confidence in their ability to deliver on these promises, then we highly recommend you should keep looking until you find just the agent who can:

1. As your Sales Agent, I promise to always give you accurate and honest feedback from ALL buyers who view your home.
