Making sure we fully comprehend one another is one communication principle I hold dear other than getting back to you promptly.
I frequently observe people communicating with one another and I can frequently tell when the recipient didn't understand what the sender was really trying to convey.
I want to be absolutely certain that I comprehend everything you're saying. Over the years, numerous customer of mine have expressed their amazement at my ability to discern the subtleties of what they were looking for.
Networking and Marketing Skills

In order to sell in today's world, they should be well versed using online marketing and networking with other real estate experts to expose your property to prospective buyers.

Ethical and Trustworthy
What to look for
I know it sounds obvious, but they should also be ethical and trustworthy. Instead of focusing on their own interests and objectives, they should put yours first. Many don't.
They should also be open and honest in their dealings and provide you all the information you need to make wise choices.
What I can offer
I had a job interview to become a TSA agent when I was in college, though they weren't called that back then. A lie detector test was needed as part of the interview. The technician told me I was the worst liar he had ever tested. LOL.
Read through my reviews to see how many people say that I'm trustworthy and honest. For me, there is no other option.
I won't always tell you what you want to hear as you're hiring a consultant, not a "yes" man.
Patience
What to look for
They need to be patient in at least two areas.
First off, if you're buying, they shouldn't pressure you to decide hurriedly or rush the search for the ideal house.
Second, they should give you all the time you need to guide/educate you through the process, whether you're a buyer or a seller.
What I can offer
I frequently advise my buyers to pass on a home even if they believe that "this is the home" if I'm certain that there is one out there that more closely matches their must-haves. Yes, this adds to my workload, but once we find the right one, they are are happier which makes me happier.
I’ve had clients contact me daily with questions. No worries. That is why I’m here.
I've worked with people for 2.5 years trying to find the right home. I'll find that needle in the haystack.
Responsiveness
What to look for
Given that time is of the essence when buying or selling real estate, you should look for a professional who will respond to you very quickly.
Also, confirm that they are accessible every day of the week, including weekends and evenings.
What I can offer
Despite the fact that I cannot always answer the phone, I guarantee that I will get back to you within a couple of hours (usually much less).
Even while I'm on vacation, I communicate with my clients to make sure they are being taken care of by my colleagues.
Being Detailed
What to look for
One of the most overlooked qualities of an excellent real estate agent is their ability to be detail oriented.
There are so many details to be handled from the first moment you start working with them to the day they hand you the keys.
What I can offer
So frequently, I observe other agents (including other top Ahwatukee agents) missing a crucial detail to the detriment of their clients.
I am extremely meticulous, which safeguards you and helps you achieve your goals.
