Why does the price of real estate change, by various amounts, during different periods of time, etc? Those, who, look at this, from an historical perspective, realize, the one predictable thing, is, it’s challenging to know, in – advance, what will occur, in the near, and more distant, future! The last few years, the cost of houses, in many areas, has risen, for a variety of reasons.

In most areas of this country, there are a large number of real estate agents, yet, in most instances, a small percentage of them, do most of the business. Often, one of the primary considerations, in differentiating between the best agents, and the rest, of the pack, is their degree and quality of INSIGHTS! Clients need, and deserve the finest representation, and therefore, should carefully consider, which agent, best serves their needs, goals, etc.

As a Real Estate Licensed Salesperson, in the State of New York, for well over a decade, I have often been asked, why a homeowner, is better served, by choosing, and using an agent, rather than trying to do it, himself! Choosing the right representation, for you, means, identifying, clearly, up – front, what you consider, your primary priority, and closely examining your reasoning, and rationale! While it’s simplistic, yet true, to state, the right agent should, and must, SERVE his clients, and place every client’s needs, etc, ahead of his own, self – interest, it might make sense, to examine, briefly…

Although, there are many licensed, real estate agents, etc, the reality is, all agents are not created, or perform, equally! Since, for most Americans, the value of their house, represents their single – biggest, financial asset, wouldn’t it make sense, to carefully, select, and/ or, choose, the individual, who might best represent their interests, in the best possible way? Besides, the many skills, expertise, and experiences, a quality agent, should possess, and needs, to exceed his client’s expectations, he must have the quality of character, and principles, which differentiate, him, not merely by his rhetoric, and/ or, promises, but, rather,…

In nearly all cases, the finest, possible results, in terms of real estate, come, when a real estate agent, and his client, develop, and maintain, the best, possible relationship! The finest representation, occurs, when there is mutual trust, and respect, and prioritizing, a meeting – of – the – minds, in order to achieve the finest, possible objectives, and needs. Since, for most people, the financial value of their house, represents their single – biggest, financial asset, doesn’t it make sense, for a homeowner, to carefully interview, potential agents, in order to identify, the one, who he feels, will best…

Although, there are many real estate agents, some are, often, preferable, because, they, have certain skills, abilities, etc, which makes a difference, for the better! One of the necessities of quality, professional representation, is having the willingness and abilities, to CALM obstacles, by considering them, to be challenges, to overcome, instead of problems (which might overwhelm)! The finest agents must, not only master the ordinary skills, but also the extraordinary ones, and must, consistently, proceed, with genuine empathy, and caring, in order to calm, and reduce the stresses/ tensions, so often, associated with the home – purchasing, transaction period, from listing through…

Although, there are many reasons, it is in, either a potential buyer’s, or seller’s, best interest, to take advantage of the services of a quality, professional, experienced, service – focused, real estate agent. perhaps, the most important one, is, because, hiring the right person, for you, HELP you throughout the process, and transaction period, from the listing stage, through the closing, etc. Since agents, purchase, and sell properties, as their profession/ business, doesn’t it make sense, to, make them, help you, get the most desirable results, including, reducing stress/ tension, getting the best possible price, in the shortest period of time, and,…

A fraud real estate agent operates with the intention to cheat the client and follows certain business tricks. He should be able to easily identify by staying alert and showing wisdom.

The difference between the finest real estate agents, and the rest – of – the – pack, is, often, the lesser ones, are content to remain within the restrictions and restraints of their personally, created, comfort zone, while the best ones, often, realize, it is, their duty and responsibility, to, tell their clients, what the need to know, not just what they want to hear (TM). This service – marked slogan, identifies, the epitome of responsible, responsive, realistic, representation, in order, to seek a real estate transaction period, which minimizes clients’ stress and tension, and prepares them, for the realities, potential challenges,…

The behavior, ethics, and guidelines, for licensed, real estate agents, is described, in considerable detail, by, both, each individual’s state, as well as one’s local real estate board. One owes his client, fiduciary responsibility, discretion, ethics/ integrity, and the finest, personal service, and representation! All real estate agents are not created equal, when it comes to, how seriously, and thoroughly, they consider these necessities.

Often, the reality of the real estate transaction process, is perceived as a stressful, anxious one, by, both, the homeowner, trying to sell his house, as well as qualified, potential buyers. Perhaps, one of most essential reasons, to hire, a professional real estate agent, who understands your needs, goals, priorities, and perceptions, and is ready, willing, and able, to treat you, with genuine empathy, is to overcome, and/ or, reduce this potential discomfort, and uneasiness!
