Choice Matters

Considerations When Choosing Your REALTOR®

01

Local Market Expertise

A great REALTOR® should be able to guide you toward areas that match your lifestyle and budget while helping you understand fair market value.

02

Communication & Availability

Your REALTOR® should be responsive, proactive, and committed to keeping you informed throughout the buying process. The best agents make themselves available for showings on your schedule, provide timely updates on new listings, and ensure you never miss an opportunity in a fast-moving market.

03

Negotiation Skills & Track Record

An experienced REALTOR® should have a proven track record of successfully negotiating on behalf of buyers. They should have proven experience with securing favourable terms, navigating multiple offer situations, and protecting your interests during inspections and appraisals.

Tip: Ask about their recent transactions, client testimonials, and how they've helped buyers like you achieve their goals.
