Yes, absolutely. Everyone has a reputation – and your agent's professional reputation with other agents has a definite bearing on your success as a Tamaqua home buyer or as a Tamaqua home seller.
If you're selling a home, your agent's good reputation for dealing fairly with buyers' agents means your home will be shown.
On the other hand, if your agent makes it difficult to arrange showing appointments or if he or she has a reputation for failing to present offers immediately, your home will go to the bottom of the list.
If you're a home buyer, your agent's good reputation is also an asset, because other agents will be apt to encourage their sellers to look closely at the offers you present.
And what constitutes a good reputation in a buyer's agent?
- Offers that are always filled out properly and completely.
- Honest representation of a buyer's ability to purchase.
- Willingness to get in and work when there's a glitch between agreement and closing.
When buyers' agents have a poor reputation, listing agents know that getting from the offer to the closing might be difficult, if not impossible. As a result, they’re apt to encourage their sellers to consider other offers first.
For both listing agents and selling agents, a reputation for returning phone calls or emails properly is a plus. So is a pleasant manner. No one wants to deal with someone who is hard to reach, or who is confrontational when they are reached.
I'm pleased to enjoy a good reputation with other agents here in Tamaqua.
In fact, due to transactions we've done together, many of them have become friends. As a result, buyer's agents show my listings, and listing agents welcome offers from my clients.
If you're thinking of buying or selling a home here in Tamaqua, get in touch. My reputation will smooth the way to your successful transaction.
