Choosing a Real Estate Agent

3.1 Buying a home requires making many important financial decisions, understanding complex issues and completing a lot of paperwork. It helps to have an expert in your corner when undertaking such a large purchase. Shea Real Estate & Investment Group agents can guide you through the process, and they also can get you access to San Diego area home listings before they hit the general market.

3.2 Here are some factors to consider when choosing a real estate agent in San Diego:

• Look for a full-time agent who has experience completing transactions with ease and velocity.
• Interview a few agents: Are they familiar with the area you are interested in? Do you feel comfortable with them? Do they seem interested in your home-buying budget?
• Ask how much time the agent will have for you, and ask if hey have a team to support the buying process.
• Ask about their credentials and education: A good agent will continually strive to improve and gain knowledge of the latest real estate trends. Are they business professionals with strong negotiation skills?
• Does the agent return your calls promptly? Time is money when attempting to buy a home.
• Ask for a list of references.
• Choose an agent who listens attentively to your needs and concerns. Pick an agent with whom you feel comfortable and trust with this important decision.
