Choose The Right Real Estate Agents To Sell Your Brampton Home
Real estate agents in Brampton are more or less like real estate agents anywhere else in Canada, or the world for that matter. They have property, or properties, which they’re looking to liquidate while bringing in a profit. If we weren’t consistently making money when buying and selling property, I wouldn’t be a real estate agent – nobody would.
However, there are some agents who will go to unscrupulous lengths and bend, twist or otherwise lean on laws, running an operation which constantly skirts the edges of legitimacy. To avoid dealing with these kinds of people, follow the following steps when looking to pick up or unload a piece of real estate.
Look for Licensing
I cannot stress this one enough. Even if you don’t end up buying through my offices, I’d hate to see you fall prey to an agent with nothing to lose. Real estate agents in Brampton must go through an extensive licensing process before they can legitimately call themselves realtors. That doesn’t mean everyone goes through the training and education before plastering their name on an office door and starting to sell homes though.
While special training isn’t technically necessary to buy, sell and deal in properties, I think it would be foolish to assume someone with no experience could do better than someone who has been studying the trade for years.
Look for Experience
As an extension of the last point, it is also safe to assume you will probably get better service from someone who has been in the realty business for a longer time. We've been in the real estate business for over 28 years, so we have plenty of contacts and resources which a newer realtor would only dream of possessing.
In turn, there are others who have been moving property for decades and dealing with issues I have yet to see. When seeking a real estate agent in Brampton, you’re most likely going to be best served by leaning toward those with more experience in the field rather than less.
Look for Location
This is another important one, also easy to overlook when you’re in a rush to move. If you want to make sure you’re dealing with a legitimate real estate agent in Brampton, then contracting with someone who has strong ties to Brampton is a good idea.
It’s also a smart way to get local realtors who will have local accreditation, which would make looking up their credentials easy and fast. We were licensed right here in Brampton and it’s pretty easy to look us up. You found your way here after all, didn’t you?
Look for Legitimacy
If you go to see a realtor in person and things just don’t look right, you’re probably better off following your gut feelings than continuing to work with agents who leave you feeling unsettled. It’s just a good idea to change your plans and get new help if you find you don’t quite trust the people working for you.
We work with all the real estate going through our office personally, so we don’t have to worry about someone else doing things in a way our clients wouldn’t find satisfactory. Beware of temp workers, unlicensed people and others working in larger offices.
Look for Us
My last bit of advice on getting a legitimate realtor might be self-serving, but I’m not lying when I say we know what it takes to get you into the Brampton home you want to buy. If you want real estate agents in Brampton who have experience dealing with local people, someone who knows about properties in the area and could tell you which ones are good buys and which should be avoided, that’s us, Lorne Deffett and Tony Brayley. If you’re thinking of moving into our diverse, but comfortable town, we'd be happy to put out the welcome mat for you. We can be reached at:
