Is Your Agent a Real Estate “Master”?

If you want to be a master at anything, you’ll need to put in at least 10,000 hours of work.

In the context of hiring a Realtor, the market is flooded with agents that are a little shy of 10,000 hours …to say the least.

Did you know that the over 94% of agents in the country make less than $48,000 a year? It’s easy for an agent to wow you with their fancy clothes and new cars, but the reality is that 94% of agents out there will not be properly prepared to service you as your agent.

Your house is the biggest investment you’ll make over the course of your life, so doesn’t it make sense to make sure that you’ve hired a real estate “master”? The knowledge that one gains as a master agent can pay dividends for you and your real estate transaction.

Some of the benefits of choosing a master agent are:

• Thorough knowledge of your market
• Knowing when the other agent is bluffing or serious about an offer
• Negotiating prices so that you’re getting the top dollar at the closing table
• A solid network of the best appraisers, inspectors, contractors, and resources
• A steady stream of potential buyers for your home

There are so many benefits to hiring a master agent, especially when the commission you’re paying out is the same for the good agents or the bad ones.
