What to Look for in a Real Estate Agent: Key Traits of Top Performers

Choosing the right real estate agent can make a significant difference in your selling experience and final outcome. According to recent research by CoreLogic, top-performing agents display a consistent set of skills and behaviours that contribute to their success. Here are the top traits to prioritise when selecting your next agent:

  1. Honesty
    Great agents provide realistic feedback on price expectations and timeframes, helping you make informed decisions.

  2. Trusted Adviser
    They offer valuable advice on pre-sale improvements and provide regular, constructive feedback from potential buyers.

  3. Professionalism
    A professional agent is an excellent communicator, skilled negotiator, and empathetic to the seller's needs. They prioritise your interests and avoid the rush for a quick sale.

  4. Marketing Expertise
    Top agents know how to showcase a property, using quality photography and strategic advertising to attract the right buyers quickly.

  5. Thoughtfulness
    Thoughtful agents focus on buyer and seller satisfaction, offering thoughtful touches like refreshments during open houses and consistently showing genuine investment in achieving your goals.

  6. After-Sales Care
    The relationship doesn’t end after the sale; great agents follow up to ensure you're satisfied with the process and outcome.

This research highlights that experience alone isn’t everything. Instead, prioritise agents with these traits to maximise the success of your sale.
