My husband and I got into the business around the same time and we quickly realized that our clients liked seeing us together as a team and a family (you may see our children with us at showings from time to time). Many find us more relateable, knowledgable, trustworthy, and accommodating to our client's schedules. We both have a passion for helping others find that perfect home, whether it's your primary residence, a home for your parents/children, or an investment opportunity. We know what it's like to buy and sell homes, as we've done it a few times ourselves, with and without kids. And we can tell you that each and every time is a new...

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?

We were in need of a larger warehouse, in a good location, at a great price, with specific parameters and we needed it in less than 3 months! Talk about unrealistic demands. Claire went to work immediately! She showed us a few spaces, but none of them fit our parameters; especially our budget. Time was moving so fast and panic was starting to creep in. Claire was a cool cucumber and asked for my specific needs. Again we were low on time and working with an unrealistic budget but Claire stated.. "Well if that is what you are looking for then that is what we will find". She was very confident which was encouraging. Long story short Claire found exactly what we were looking for and what was more impressive was that it wasn't a public listing in any paper that I saw. She really dug in and was so focused on getting us a place before our deadline that we didn't sign an agent agreement until after we knew the new location would work for us. Finally, In a world of declining customer service, and what seems to be a general lack of consideration and kindness. Claire's customer service and expertise came shining thru. Many companies have mission statements, slogans and billboards. That is all well and good but, at the end of the day if you were to ask me to sum our experience up with one statement it would simply be...... "Claire Cares".
