Stick With Your REALTOR
®
Your local REALTOR® can become an expert on your specific needs and tastes. Scattering your time and energy amongst multiple REALTORS® will work against your goal of finding your best home. And because most local REALTORS® have equal access to the same property listings, there’s no real advantage to having multiple REALTORS®. Your best option: choose one local REALTOR® to work with exclusively towards your real estate goals.
