Over the course of your home search, you might contact multiple Santa Clarita real estate agents; asking them about the home they have for sale. Most buyers take months to buy a home, from start to finish. It stands to reason that over the course of that home search, if you go without hiring an agent to specifically represent you, that you may have about 20+ new friends (err Realtors) calling you. All. The. Time.
Doesn’t Sound So Fun Now, Does It?
What I suggest is connecting with just ONE Santa Clarita real estate agent. Interview several to find the right fit to your personality and needs, if you must. But, work with one! Imagine having one loyal and hard working person who’s looking out for your needs, your goals, and listening to you when you talk about your concerns?
You don’t get that when you moonlight with many different real estate agents in the course of your home search. What you get is a diluted mess of varying opinions and guidance. Don’t forget the intrusion of numerous phone calls and emails as they’re ALL following-up with you; for those that even care to. Real estate agents won’t be loyal in the service they provide you, if they don’t sense that you’ll be a loyal client. We know when buyers are calling listing agent to listing agent until they find the right home.
If you prefer to only speak with the listing agent… I say fine, if it’s a home you have a very strong feeling about, as being the one! Otherwise, you’ll just end up in that bad habit calling about any and all homes. It’s called caller ID… and once you call – they got ya! And if you give up your email so easily…. they got ya again until you unsubscribe.
Want some peace, and peace of mind? Work with one GREAT Santa Clarita real estate agent who’s there for you, from beginning to end. They are there for you when you call or text late at night and on the weekends. They are there for you on those last minute appts that you need. They are there for you when something breaks down in the home after the sale. And they are there for you when you have a best friend who also needs help finding the right home. And they are there for you when you need to sell that Santa Clarita home in order to move-up, move-down, or relocate altogether. Sounds like a much better proposition than having 20+ new Realtor friends blowing up your phone and email.
Doesn’t it?
