Success begins with choosing the right representation
Choosing an Agent
Not all real estate agents are the same—so how do you find the one that’s the right fit for you? Here are some key tips to help you choose a knowledgeable, trustworthy agent who truly understands your needs.
Get a Recommendation
If you don’t yet have a realtor, start by researching, reaching out to friends or neighbors for referrals, or arranging listing interviews to find the right fit.
Real estate is local. Your agent should be too.
Every market is different, and resort communities are especially unique. Your agent should have in-depth knowledge of local inventory and current market trends, maintain strong relationships with other local agents, and have a proven track record of closing deals in this market. In a competitive market, working with an experienced and knowledgeable agent is essential.
What's their plan?
Selling a home takes far more than just putting a sign in the yard and posting it on the MLS. A strong agent will have a detailed, strategic marketing plan designed to showcase your property effectively. In the Winter Park area, it's especially important to list your home in both the Denver MLS and the local Grand County MLS. At Hideaway Real Estate, we always feature our listings in both to ensure maximum exposure. Interested in seeing our full marketing plan? Contact us today!
Communication is Key
Choose an agent who communicates clearly and is always willing to answer any questions you have throughout the home selling process. Your agent should truly listen, understand your goals, and tailor their approach to meet your needs.
Ethical Standards
When choosing representation, look for a designated Realtor® rather than just a real estate agent. Realtors® are members of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and are held to a strict code of ethics in every transaction. At Hideaway Real Estate, we’re proud to be registered Realtors®. To learn more, visit NAR’s Code of Ethics page.
Check Out Their Reviews
Take a look at an agent’s Zillow profile or website to read reviews and learn about others’ experiences. Were past clients satisfied? To see what our clients have to say, visit our Testimonials page.
Honesty
The best agent isn’t simply the one who tells you what you want to hear. You need someone who is willing and able to provide honest, thoughtful advice to help you navigate the market and make the right decisions for your goals.
Trust Your Gut
At the end of the day, pick an agent you trust and feel confident will put your best interests first.
At Hideaway Real Estate, we pride ourselves on all of the above in addition to offering our clients the advantage of a full range of marketing coverage and agent accessibility.
