On the lookout for an awesome realtor to help sell your property or find your dream home? With so many pushy real estate agents in the market, how do you even begin to choose? How can you tell which realtors will make you their priority while you work with them?

Let’s take a look at what separates the best realtors from the good ones:

Referral Based Business

Realtors who have been in businesses for a while have had plenty of time to build a referral-based business. This means they have created a robust network of buyers and sellers who they can easily access when needed. This network becomes the primary source of leads for these realtors.

In our many years in the business, Smith Top Team has developed a vast networking circle of buyer agents; we regularly market our clients’ listings to our networking circle to maximize exposure and increases the chances of getting a good deal.

Strong Knowledge of Marketing Strategies

Great real estate deals simply can’t happen without the support of powerful marketing strategies. Selling a property in time requires making the use of all available channels to widen exposure to potential buyers.

Relying on open houses in today’s competitive real estate landscape isn’t effective. In the digital era, there’s a much bigger emphasis on property listings. Real estate agents Camp Hill need to ensure that the property is listed on the most relevant platforms.

Smith Top Team specializes in developing innovative marketing strategies for each of their clients. Our background in corporate marketing allows us to design strategies that inexperienced realtors probably don’t offer.

They are Driven and Proactive

Real estate agents that sit around waiting for business to come to them, are doing it all wrong. Successful realtors are self-motivated. They don’t wait until the deals close to ask clients for references. Instead, they block out some time every other day to actively find themselves new opportunities.

If your realtor comes across as way too laidback, take it as a warning sign. Think of it this way; if they don’t have the urgency to find themselves new clients, how are they going to hustle to sell your property?

Have a Supportive Team

Realtors who’ve been in business long enough should have enough capital to hire administrative staff that can handle repetitive daily tasks.

Each real estate deal brings with it a flood of paperwork. If the papers aren’t in order, real estate transactions can slow down unnecessarily. For real estate agents to be able to do their jobs properly, they need the support of an administrative staff which they can delegate work to so they can concentrate on revenue-generating activities.

Smith Top Team is a father-son real-estate duo that has a collective experience of 40 years in the business. We have extensive knowledge of the real estate market in Camp Hill and Mechanicsburg, PA.
