Thailand has many properties that cater to all kinds of buyers. From luxurious condos in the heart of Bangkok to expansive villas on the islands, it is clear that the real estate agent market is in high demand. But, while some real estate agents merely act as a middle man for a quick sale, more reputable agents usually have a few characteristics that help them stand out from the rest. No matter if you are a buyer looking for a real estate agent or an agent yourself, these common characteristics of successful real estate agents should be present.
Hardworking and honest
No one wants to do business with someone that they cannot trust to handle the important matters, paperwork and legal issues. Laziness is definitely not something that fits into a real estate agent’s role. A successful agent must establish a good reputation. But, in order to do this, being honest and saying things that a client may not want to hear, is essential. Although some conversations are hard, such as unrealistic selling prices, and difficult resale locations, it can help your client in the end to make a sound decision.
Understanding the local market
Each real estate market has its own features, trends, and unique characteristics. A real estate agent with any self-respect would likely know the local market. And, if they are new to the market, doing research is a must to accurately convey the market’s details to the client.
Organised, reliable, and quick-thinking
A fantastic agent should be able to spot all of a property’s potential and what may be needed to boost that potential. Upon seeing a property, a great agent should want to make sure it is set up properly in order to be sold at the best price. Devising an organised strategy that focuses on cleaning up the property in order to get a better selling price is essential. Whether they need to perform such duties and hold off on listing the property until it is ready, these decisions are paramount to securing a property’s potential.
Contacts and flexibility
A sucessful real estate agent should be wise enough to develop contacts throughout the industry. Keeping a list of prospective clients and/or buyers that includes relevant information that matches them to the right properties is key to building up a client database. Other lists to keep include local builders, decorators and maintenance companies that are trustworthy.
Self-motivated and creative
Great agents are always open to business opportunities. Taking every call, regardless of the day of the week, certainly helps them build a reputation for going above and beyond. In a difficult property market, thinking creatively will help with a successful sale. Read More…
