References and ReferralsStatistics are limited in what they can tell you about the performanceof any professional. To get some personal insight into howa real estate broker or a particular agent treats their clients, ask forreferences, and ask your friends for recommendations and referralsto real estate brokers who they have used in the past. When speakingto references, ask about how responsive the agent was to theircalls and questions. If they sold their home through the agent, werethey satisfied with the efforts of the agent to market their home andmeet their financial requirements? If the agent represented them asbuyers, was he active in searching out properties for them to lookat, or did the buyers have to suggest properties to the agent? Didthe agent demonstrate an understanding of their priorities? Theanswers to these questions can give you a picture of either a successfulrelationship with the agent or a frustrating one that you maywant to avoid.Your real estate broker or agent can make the purchase or saleof your home go smoothly, or make it a bit bumpier than it needs tobe. Take the time to interview and research each professional beforemaking a commitment to engage them in service. Purchasing andselling your home has enough stress on its own. Your real estatebroker should be the one who helps decrease those stressors. ■Source: realtor.com.<strong>HER</strong><strong>LIFE</strong>MAGAZINE.COM 41
