Realtor in Bellingham, WA

The City of Subdued Excitement

While choosing a Realtor in Bellingham you may find it a little scary if you don't have a Realtor already in mind. Buyers and sellers beware those who promise you "silver platter" deals, gifts, and free services. It just makes them look desparate and chances are, they are.

Buyers and sellers should look for a Realtor who is a member of The Association of Realtors, first and foremost. Certification and experience are your best bet to get the best deal for you, however, just because someone is new in the profession, doesn't neccessarily mean they can't serve you well.

It isn't asking much to be able to interview them before deciding you want to work with them to find the perfect home or to sell the one you have. Ask them a lot of questions:

1- Are they a member of The Association of Realtors?

2- Do they do this full time?

3- How long have they been in the area?

4- How many houses have they sold?

A good agent should know the market well. Which houses have been sold recently in the neighborhood and for how much? And if they don't know, a good realtor will get back to you with the information you need.

Find a Realtor that works the real estate business full time and will make daily contact with you. If you go a week without hearing anything from him or her, find someone else. A good agent will be very patient and make quality time to work with you.

Also, whether you are buying or selling, you need a Realtor that will gladly supply you will references and possess strong negotiating skills and be able to help you work through all the procedures of buying or selling your home smoothly.
