One of the biggest problems in Real Estate that buyers and sellers have experienced is a lack of communication with their Realtor’s.
Communication with your Realtor® is important because, buying or selling a home represents what could very well be the most expensive financial transaction of your life, and communication is the key to success with having an effortless Real Estate transaction from start to finish.
How Often Should Your Realtor® Communicate With You?
Your Realtor® should be in contact with you daily via email, text or phone call to inform you of the following:
If you’re buying –
- New properties that match your search criteria or budget.
- Homes which are about to come to market (pocket listings).
- Foreclosure, short sale or fixer upper properties that you should know about.
- State of the Real Estate market including increases or decreases in mortgage interest rates.
If you’re selling –
- Things you can do to improve the condition of your property.
- Comparable analysis of other properties in the area.
- Information on buyers who will be coming to view your home.
- Offers on your Southern California home.
