Picture it: <\/em><\/strong>You\u2019ve created a budget, made a list of your homebuying priorities, and you\u2019re ready to start home shopping<\/a>. 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\u2019t seem to know that much about single-family homes. How are you going to work with an agent that doesn\u2019t have experience with the kind of home you want to buy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/em><\/strong> <\/strong>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\u2019s sold 25 single-family homes in the last year is going to be plugged into your city\u2019s single-family home market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picture it: <\/em><\/strong>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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution: <\/em><\/strong>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\u2019ve sold in the last year. AgentStory gives you insights into how active your real estate agent is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picture it: <\/em><\/strong>You\u2019ve 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\u2019s insights are superficial at best, and what you want is a real local expert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution: <\/em><\/strong>AgentStory delivers up maps highlighting an agent\u2019s Area of Influence. You can feel confident that an agent who\u2019s sold dozens of homes inside your preferred neighborhood knows exactly where to find the best dog park for your beloved fur baby. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
