Frequently Asked Questions

What does a real estate agent do? 

A top real estate agent’s job is to guide you throughout the entire home-buying or home-selling process. They back you up with expert knowledge, experience and a plan to help you crush your housing goals. 

Since home buyers and sellers have different needs, there are almost always two real estate agents involved with every home transaction—a buyer’s agent  and a seller’s agent (or a listing agent). 

A buyer’s agent will guide you through the process of purchasing a home within your budget that fits your list of must-haves. On the other hand, a listing agent walks you through everything you need to do to get your home ready for sale. They know what it takes to get the home sold on your timeline and for the best price.
