From 2003 to 2008 I worked on the corporate operations side of new homes sales and marketing. It was a fantastic job that offered me the ability to be mentored by several of what I consider to be real estate icons. I earned my license in 2006, never having the intention to sell a home, but simply to grow my existing career. Fast forward to the market meltdown in 2008. I found myself, a 38 year old woman with three daughters and no college education in an industry that was virtually gone overnight. So what did I do? The answer, everything I had to in order to keep my home and pay my bills. Specifically, a lot of consulting with start-u

Your Real Estate Agent Services questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

What does a real estate agent do?

Real estate agents help clients buy, sell, and rent residential and commercial properties. Homebuyers and sellers should get a realtor or listing agent to help find and visit properties, make offers, determine a competitive listing price, negotiate, and handle all the paperwork.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, real estate agents do the following:

  • Represent clients looking to buy, sell, and rent properties.
  • Advise clients on local prices, market conditions, mortgages, and related information.
  • Generate and compare currently listed and recently sold properties to determine a competitive listing price or offer.
  • Market properties through open houses, online websites, and advertisements.
  • Show prospective properties to buyers or renters.
  • Present purchase offers to sellers or helps buyers submit an offer.
  • Mediate negotiations between buyer and seller.
  • Ensure all contract terms are met.
  • Prepare and submit documents, such as loyalty contracts, purchase agreements, and deeds.

How much does a real estate agent cost near me?

The standard, fair commission for a real estate agent is 6% of the home's sale price. The commission is negotiable and is typically split between the seller’s agent and buyer’s agent at 3% each. Some real estate firms offer selling or listing services at a flat rate of $3,000 to $6,000.

Additional costs apply for home staging, photography, videography, marketing, inspections, appraisals, and closing costs.

What's the difference between a real estate broker and an agent?

  • Real estate brokers are licensed to own their firm and help clients buy and sell real estate.
  • Real estate sales agents must work under a licensed broker. Brokers work with sales agents on a contract basis and charge a commission for each property they sell.

What should you look for in a real estate agent?

To find the best real estate office, look for and do the following:

  • Contact and compare at least three presentations from top realtor agents.
  • Ask for recommendations from family, friends, and neighbors.
  • Read reviews and check out their previous work on HomeGuide and Google.
  • Select realtors with extensive knowledge and experience of the local market.
  • Avoid part-time real estate agents.
  • Avoid agents that don't typically work within your price range.
  • Look for agents that have recent and successful local transactions.
  • Look for agents that communicate with you regularly and keep you up to date.

After asking questions, hire the best real estate agents near you.

What questions should you ask a real estate agent?

When hiring a real estate firm, ask them the following questions:

  • How long have you been in business? Are you full-time?
  • How many homes have you represented in this area?
  • What types of homes do you usually represent?
  • What price range do you typically work within?
  • What price would you recommend listing my home at, and why?
  • Are there any potential complications you foresee with this home?
  • How many other homes or buyers are you currently working with?
  • Can you provide testimonials and references from past customers?
  • Does your firm help with photography, walk-through video, or staging?
  • How long are houses taking to sell in the neighborhood?
  • How much do you charge, and how long does your contract last?
  • Is your commission negotiable?
  • What services are included in the cost?
  • How do you plan to market my house?
  • What do I need to provide to get started?

Reviews for San Diego real estate agents

Recent success stories from people in the San Diego area.
Monica G.
Susan is amazing in her concern and care for the customer and property she represents. She went above and beyond to make sure my property sold for the best possible price. She listens to what you have to say, and pays attention to every little detail. You cannot find a realtor that is more conscientious or honest. Her integrity is beyond reproach. I was so lucky to have her as my agent. To this day I refer to her as my "real estate angel". You cannot find a better person to represent you in real estate transactions.

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Scott and Matthew. We were first time home buyers in this very competitive market and had no idea what to expect. Scott was extremely attentive, returned all my texts/calls within minutes, and really went out of his way to find us a great home. On our first day out, we actually found a home and put a bid on it! We were not the best offer but Scott was able to build rapport with the listing agent which led to the acceptance of our offer.

I called Connie to show me a specific house that I wanted to fly in to see. She set things up immediately and then took me to see 16 other homes over two days, so I could be sure I was making the right decision. She returned all my calls and texts immediately and was available as much as I needed her. She was available for the walk through and handled everything I needed from that end since I was working with her from out of state. If you are looking for a Realtor, call Connie. Nancy
