Picture it: You’ve created a budget, made a list of your homebuying priorities, and you’re ready to start home shopping. You have your heart set on a two-story family home with a budget of $500,000, but your real estate agent keeps showing you condos. In fact, the more you press them, the more you realize that they don’t seem to know that much about single-family homes. How are you going to work with an agent that doesn’t have experience with the kind of home you want to buy?

Solution: Before you make your first phone call to a new agent, check out their AgentStory profile to see what kind of dwelling they specialize in. An agent that’s sold 25 single-family homes in the last year is going to be plugged into your city’s single-family home market.

Picture it: The housing market is competitive, and you need an agent that will aggressively negotiate sellers. Yet your agent seems nervous about sending back a counteroffer and resists any attempts to put in a creative offer that could stand out against competitors. 

Solution: When your time and money are on the line, you want an experienced and strategic negotiator on your side. See how active and experienced your real estate agent is by looking into how many homes they’ve sold in the last year. AgentStory gives you insights into how active your real estate agent is.

Picture it: You’ve decided on a neighborhood, but want the inside scoop. Where are the best coffee shops and restaurants? What kind of growth is this neighborhood experiencing? Your real estate agent’s insights are superficial at best, and what you want is a real local expert.

Solution: AgentStory delivers up maps highlighting an agent’s Area of Influence. You can feel confident that an agent who’s sold dozens of homes inside your preferred neighborhood knows exactly where to find the best dog park for your beloved fur baby. 

Contact a Real Estate Agent Through AgentStory

Finding and contacting a real estate agent on the AgentStory website is easy:

Search for an agent by name or location

Already have an agent in mind? Great! We can help you verify their buying and selling stats. Once you click on an agent’s profile, you’ll see:

  • Neighborhoods an agent is active in
  • Addresses of the homes they’ve sold
  • Dates they’ve closed on homes
  • Types of sold homes 

Looking for an agent that’s active in a particular location? You can look for an agent by county, city, state, or zip code. 

Contact a Real Estate Agent

You can call the agent directly from their agent profile, or you can send an email straight to their inbox. If an agent has claimed their profile, then you’ll be able to see their social media accounts, too. 

To send an email, we’ll ask you the following questions:

  • Are you buying or selling?
  • Where are you buying or selling?
  • What’s your name and email address?

We’ll send this information to the real estate agent so that they have a general idea of what you’re looking for. Then the agent will be able to contact you so that you can interview them and see if you’ll be a good fit.

AgentStory is free for buyers and sellers to find a real estate agent, and you don’t need to sign up for an account. We want you to feel confident about choosing the perfect agent who is knowledgeable, experienced, and happy to guide you through the homebuying process.
