THE GOOD REALTOR

The subject is discussed ad infinitum: What constitutes a "good" realtor? Everyone who's bought a home through the realty services of a licensed realtor has an opinion. And the opinions range from "very bad" to "very good". When those buyers who rated their realtors "very good" were queried, they seems to focus on just a few issues regarding their "good" realtors. I have a page on my web site: www.johncmartin.com, which deals with this question; but the following is a quick synopsis:

1) Honesty/integrity was first and foremost. Buyers of real estate must feel comfortable that their realtor has their best interests at heart rather than his own.
2) Attention was also very high on the short-list. Buyers want a realtor that listens to them, and pays attention to them and their needs and wants, rather than talking about themselves.
3) Control of the process was also very high in the minds of buyers rating their realtors. A realtor who knows his market and can bring a purchase to the table on time - with optimum correspondence between all parties - is determined to be a "good realtor".
