A good agent knows the area you want to live in. Not every agent is going to know every area.
When I was a new agent someone called looking for properties in Upper Darby. I took down his prerequisites, i.e. price, number of bedrooms and bathrooms (I should have asked other questions), etc. Then I pulled 20 or so properties that met those criteria off the multiple listing service and looked at them. I didn't know Upper Darby for anything. They were just numbers on a page. I referred that buyer to an agent who works in that area.
I'd worked in Center City. I've shown, sold, gone to brokers opens, etc., there and I know the area well. I've walked its streets, shopped in its stores, know its neighbors. When someone asks me a question about a given house, I may actually have been in that house. At the very least I know what its like there.
Pick an agent that knows the area you want to live in.
I'm trying to create a more informed real estate customer. Is this working?
