CHOOSING THE RIGHT REAL ESTATE AGENT FOR YOU
Your REALTOR has a major impact on getting your real estate transaction successfully to the closing table. It is very important to choose the right agent for you! Here's a list of things to consider when choosing an agent...

Choose an agent you like! Of course, knowledge and experience are important but also be sure you can openly communicate with an agent you feel is relatable and trustworthy.
Get a referral! If you know someone who's had a great experience with their agent; ask for their agent's contact information.
Search online to compare agents! It's a good idea to interview at least 3 agents before signing an agreement.
Ask questions! Asking the right questions will assist you with deciding if an agent is right for you.
Location! Having knowledge on your area of interest is important when assisting you with negotiations.

AGENCY RELATIONSHIPS
Not sure what it means to be represented by a real estate agent? Just because you're speaking to or receiving advice from a real estate agent doesn't necessarily mean they're representing you so it is vital to always be conscious of the information you're providing. Below are the most common types of representation to ease some confusion when speaking to real estate agents.
Learn More...
BUYER'S AGENT - a licensed real estate professional who represents the buyer's best interest in a real estate transaction.
SELLER'S AGENT - a licensed real estate professional who represents the seller's best interest in a real estate transaction. Also known as the "listing agent". This agent's name can be found on the "for sale" sign.
DUAL AGENT - a licensed real estate professional who is legally licensed and represents both the buyer and seller in a real estate transaction. All parties involved must consent to this type of representation.
REAL ESTATE AGENT/BROKER VS. REALTOR IN ILLINOIS
REALTORS abide by a code of ethics; agents don't. The real estate license law varies by state. Below is a description of what each real estate professional title means in the state of Illinois...
Learn More...
BROKER - Brokers help people buy, sell or rent residential real property. They act as an intermediary between sellers and buyers and help draw up the necessary legal paperwork to complete transactions. Brokers work under the direction of managing brokers. You may know this title as "Real Estate Agent".
MANAGING BROKER - Becoming a real estate managing broker allows you to work independently (self-sponsored) or for another managing broker. Managing brokers who are self-sponsored may manage and sponsor other licensees.
BUYER'S MARKET VS. SELLER'S MARKET
The real estate market has a direct impact on the way you buy or sell a home. Click below for a description of each market and learn how each market can affect your real estate transaction!
Learn More...
BUYER'S MARKET - a "buyer's market" is classified when the supply of homes for sale exceed the buyer's demands for homes. This market is ideal for buyers as they have more options of homes to choose from increasing the seller's likeliness to negotiate during an offer.
SELLER'S MARKET - a "seller's market" is classified when the number of buyers searching for homes exceeds the number of homes currently for sale. This market is ideal for sellers as they are more likely to receive multiple offers likely increasing the purchase price of their home.
BALANCED MARKET - a "balanced market" is classified when the supply of homes is equivalent to the number of buyers. This market is ideal for buyers as homes tend to stay active longer than other markets, and ideal for sellers as homes that most appeal to buyers sell quicker than others.
FOR SALE BY OWNER
If you're wondering what a home with a "for sale by owner" sign means for you I'll explain it here. For sale by owner means that the property is being sold by the owner without the representation of a real estate professional. This does not mean your buyer's agent is not able to assist you with purchasing this home so you should still have your agent reach out to confirm whether the seller is willing to cooperate with a real estate professional. It is always a good idea to have a real estate professional or real estate attorney represent at least one party of a real estate transaction to eliminate odds of common mishaps. Contact me for more tips to consider when buying or selling a "for sale by owner" property!
