While researching a property today for a buyer,  Morgan that I meant recently at a open house he had handed me a listing from a free service of a similar property in the area . However , the information was very vague and the contact information for the listing agent had an office number only and when I called I got the continual ring and no voicemail or answering service. Due to my location at the time I had no internet access so called an associate and had them look this property up for me. Unfortunately I forgot to ask them an important question at that time the status of the property, all I wanted was better contact number for the listing agent which I got and subsequently got his voicemail.

This morning after getting no response I looked up the listing myself to find out it was expired and has been since the middle of June. How my client got this listing as an active is still to be determined, but in an effort to keep them happy I researched this property further and found it had not sold or been re-listed, and by coincidence the owner lived very close by in South Jordan. So I took a chance, drove by and happened to catch her at home. Janet was very happy to talk to me and asked me why the sudden interest in her property when nothing has happened since October. I explained the above to her and she summarizes that must be why he called this morning and wanted to re-list. Now that I have rambled on this incident it made me think and go back what should you look for in picking an agent and came up with the following in summary.

1.    Professionalism
2.     Integrity
3.     Innovation
4.     Technology
5.    Competency

Once I had reviewed the articles and educational material that I used to came up with this list, I realized the benefits I received from this self review and the importance of you the client to expect this from the agent of your choice. Then I realized that I had employeed all of the above in order to get a listing from Janet and a buyers agreement from Morgan.

Amazing when an agent expects the same from him or herself!!!!!
