After you went through the process of acquiring an agent, here are a few tips in having a successful relationship. Mutual respect, trust, listening and being open minded are very important. If after a time frame, you receive no results, you may need to change your selling strategy. Meeting face to face or a phone call instead of texts and emails is always better communication so words are not misinterpreted. Remember that an agent is working for free until a property sells. When appointments are scheduled, you both need to be punctual and if problems arise, call to cancel or reschedule. If your property is too high or there are problems, listen and trust each other. You are trying to achieve the same goal. Be honest with the agent when buying too. Let them know how much you can spend. Agents do not show you properties that are out of your range, but if they do not know you can go higher, you might miss out on something you want.
