All agents on The Jon Cohen Team are experienced in representing Buyers and Sellers, instead of the common team structure where the Team Leader is the only Listing Agent on the team and all other agents are strictly Buyer Agents. With the common team approach, when Sellers hire agents to sell their house they’re hiring someone that primarily seeks out other Sellers looking to sell their houses. Those agents rarely have Buyers to bring to their Seller’s listings (since they primarily work with Sellers) and they give the Buyer leads that come in on their listings to Buyer Agents on the team that commonly know very little about the Seller’s ho...

Yammir C. says, "John is a must have agent and director. I have experienced 2 relocations and he has demonstrated exceptional versatility. He knows how to balance his experience and knowledge while making the home buying process FUN. I can't thank him enough for his professionalism, reliability, relatability and leadership. When I relocated initially from CA to NJ John surprised us with our dream home.

How To Get Your Agent to Work Twice as Hard. Our Team of Professionals... The fact is, there isn't much more to the average agent than the agent themselves. Most agents operate a one-person show - and they're probably breaking their backs trying to do a good job for their clients. Most agents couldn't really work any harder than they're already working. We know, because we used to do it this way. But we don't anymore because we found that our client's suffered from our good intentions. The fact is, you may be sympathetic to the fact that your agent is working as hard as humanly possible, but if the quality and profitability of your home sale ...

This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. Also, technology has helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients. "Don't make a real estate move before calling me first." No zestimates here. Only real-time data. I am a Master Certified Negotiator and a graduate from the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School of Business. I have practiced real estate for 12+ years in PA/NJ/MD/DC.

Your Real Estate Agent Services questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

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.

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.

  • 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.

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.

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?

John & Team were fantastic! We had multiple unforeseen hiccups along the selling process but John kept me well informed the entire time. The house sold close to listing price and in the off season too.

Rob Kowalchik helped us find and purchase our home 6 years ago. He handles all of our rentals. He always finds quality tenants in a short amount of time. The team is very professional, highly effective, and very knowledgeable of the local rental and housing markets. Both our tenants and ourselves are very pleased with how thorough and smoothly he makes the rental process. He is very personable and accessible.
