Choosing the right realtor can be the difference between a smooth, profitable transaction and a stressful, costly mistake. Whether you’re buying your first home or selling an investment property, the right agent will guide you through every step with confidence and expertise.
At Escape AZ Realty, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional real estate services throughout Arizona. Our clients don’t just get agents — they get trusted advisors who are committed to results.
Here are the Top 10 Things to Look For in Your Next Realtor:
1. Local Market Expertise
Your realtor should have deep knowledge of your target area — not just zip codes, but schools, neighborhood trends, and pricing strategy.
🔑 Why it matters: Local insight helps you buy smart and sell at top dollar.
2. A Proven Track Record
Experience speaks volumes. Ask about past sales, average days on market, and client testimonials.
At Escape AZ Realty, we consistently close deals faster and above asking price thanks to strategic pricing and marketing.
3. Excellent Communication Skills
Your agent should be easy to reach, responsive, and proactive in keeping you informed. Real estate moves fast — you need someone who’s on top of every detail.
4. Strong Negotiation Skills
A great realtor protects your financial interest at every stage. From offer to closing, you want someone who can negotiate confidently on your behalf.
5. Great Reviews and References
Check online reviews and ask for past client referrals. Agents with a history of happy clients typically deliver consistent results.
6. Modern Marketing Skills
Your home deserves more than a few iPhone photos. Look for agents who offer:
- Professional photography
- Drone footage
- Social media campaigns
- Paid advertising
Escape AZ Realty uses cutting-edge marketing to make your listing shine online and offline.
7. Industry Knowledge & Certifications
Look for agents who are part of professional organizations, and who stay current with local laws, market changes, and negotiation tactics.
8. Transparency & Integrity
You want someone who will tell you the truth, not just what you want to hear. An honest agent helps you make smart, informed decisions — even when they’re tough.
9. Resource Network
Great realtors have trusted relationships with:
- Inspectors
- Contractors
- Lenders
- Title companies
At Escape AZ Realty, we connect you with the best in the business to ensure your transaction is seamless.
10. A Personal Connection
Ultimately, you need someone you feel comfortable with. Buying or selling property is emotional — trust your instincts and work with someone who truly listens.
