Home buyers and sellers are increasingly finding their REALTORS® through online searches. By reading a Realtor’s blog and visiting their website, a potential client can get a sense of the Realtor’s knowledge and personality. Now, more than ever, it is important for Realtors to be aware of what their online persona says about them. For buyers and sellers, finding the right Real Estate agent has become more than using just anybody. They need someone who they can relate to and trust.

Yanni Raz explains what qualities the right Realtor should possess:

“In today’s market it is very important that a good Realtor to represent you. In a marketplace full of opportunity, tax benefits and irregular values, proven experience, integrity, market awareness and outstanding communication skills are essential. No one should compromise these qualities. Home Purchases and sales are too important to place in the supervision of inexperienced, unverified Realtors. Whether dealing with a commercial or residential real estate transaction, the client should verify that the realtor is an affiliate in good standing with the National Association of REATLORS® (NAR). This membership assures the client of the Realtor’s obligation to educational programs and compliance with principles of ethical conduct and cooperation. NAR has been instrumental in increasing and implementing superior ethical principles of conduct throughout the industry.”

Realtors who are making it through the downturn understand that buyers and sellers are savvy. Not only must a Realtor have knowledge about their local market and how to advertise, but they must also stand up to a host of personal critique. Buyers and sellers want to make sure their Realtor will be able to represent their needs when it come to this important purchase.
