Why Hiring a Real Estate Agent Benefits You

Why The Agent Matters When Buying or Selling a Home

Choosing the right real estate agent is just as important as buying or selling a home. A lot could go wrong if you do it yourself, unless if you have a lot of experiences with these processes but think about those who are just starting out with their lives and buying or selling their first home. You cannot expect them to have the same experience with an experienced realtor.

The truth is, who you work with matters. A lot.

You can get help from family or friends; that is totally up to you but the right real estate agent will help you out more because they know the market and are experts at how this all works.

Experience and Commitment Make a Big Difference

Sure, your uncle’s friend might have a real estate license. But before choosing someone just because you know them, ask yourself: Are they truly qualified to guide me through this process? Do they do this full-time, or is it just a side gig?

One of the most important questions you can ask an agent is:
“Are you a full-time or part-time agent?”
It makes a huge difference. Full-time agents are fully committed to their clients, their market, and staying up-to-date with the latest tools, strategies, and local trends. Wouldn’t you want someone who’s all in—just like you are?

 

It’s All About Trust and Comfort

You do not need to feel the stress and hassle and be emotional just for you to buy or sell your home. No. Your real estate person would carry that burden for you and smoothen things out while you work on more important things. This is why real estate agents matter.

The best agents aren’t just skilled—they build strong, comfortable relationships with their clients. They make you feel like you're their top priority. Because to them, you are.

 

Skills, Track Record, and Production Matter

Not all agents have the same experience or results. You deserve someone who not only talks the talk but also walks the walk.

Look for an agent with:

  • A strong history of successful closings
     
  • Market knowledge and professional training
     
  • A proven track record of getting the job done right
     

It’s also worth noting that not all brokerages are created equal. That’s where RE/MAX stands out.

 

Why Start With RE/MAX?

RE/MAX agents are known around the world for one big reason: results. Nobody in the world sells more real estate than RE/MAX. And that’s not just a catchy slogan—it’s backed by facts.

RE/MAX agents:

  • Consistently outperform other agents in both volume and experience
     
  • Hold more professional designations than agents at any other national brand
     
  • Are highly trained and motivated to provide the best possible service
     

Choosing a RE/MAX agent means choosing someone with access to global tools, local market insight, and a network that works for you.

 

So… What Kind of Service Do You Deserve?

You deserve topnotch expert service and someone who knows the market inside out. You would definitely know right away in your guts when he/she is the right real estate person for you. This person would be communicative and listen to your concerns.

They know the market and would find the best deal for you based on what you want and need. Someone who is invested in your goals and success. Not just someone who is doing real estate on the side. That one right there is someone who just wants to make more money for himself and no one else.

At RE/MAX Lakes Realty, we are proud to be the trusted, experienced, and committed full-time professionals who put you first rather than business. We will guide you with selling your current home or even buy your very first house.
