Finding you the right agent can be a very tedious task. As tedious as it is it has to be done with great care. You have to choose an agent who you can trust to lead you into the best deal.
Before you choose an agent find out about his reputation in the market. You can do this by asking people or checking for yourself online. Speak to your agent and check if he is a good communicator and how accessible he is, and make sure you know his mode of communication and find it comfortable. Is he available at any time when you need him? Ask him for his educational background and also for details of his past dealings.
Check to see if he is a dual agent i.e. an agent who accepts the commission from both the buyer and the seller. If you are the buyer you end up paying more and if you are the seller you end up making a less profit.
When you choose an agent make sure that he has enough of time to give to you. If you find him involved in too many dealings at one time it's a indication that he won't be able to pay much attention to you. Make a smart choice and get an agent, who has a good knowledge about the market, he will be able to get you the best deal. If you find an agent who is also an investor in the market you got yourself the best.
Whether its bout buying a Thornton real estate or about selling your house the choice of the agent is yours. Be sure that you make a smart choice. Question till you are satisfied. A good agent is well aware of his importance and he will not hesitate in answering your questions.
