Five Qualities an Estate Agent Should Have

House Tree Provident House, Burrell Row Beckenham, BR3 1AT 0207 0604674


Estate agents do not enjoy the most positive of reputations. They are, quite notably, known for unfulfilled promises and being very superficial. So, people formed the idea that all their efforts go into making a sale. They even rank among the most detested industries, right up there with politicians and bankers. To an untrained or inexperienced eye, it is hard to spot a good estate agent. Even professionals cannot sort the good from the bad. That is why it is recommended for any home buyer to be knowledgeable about specific aspects of real estate. To help them, here are listed five qualities that most good agents possess: 1. Knows the Importance of Communication A good agent knows that a client needs to know even the smallest bits about their purchase. They recognise its importance for future situations. An agent who only calls or texts about payments and such should not be afforded any time or money. 2.

Moves Proactively

A good agent moves so the client will not have to. The premise is to keep them informed with any updates as soon as possible. 3.

Listens Rather than Talks

A good agent will advise home buyers to be wary of a chatty estate broker. They will listen to the client’s wishes and requests. This way, they can make sure that any concern is sorted quickly. 4.

Client-Centred

A good agent knows that it is all about the client. Even if they ask for a recommendation, they still have their best interests in mind. It is almost a guarantee that a happy customer is served by a reliable agent. 5.

Aware of Client’s Time Frame

A good agent genuinely wants to know the client. They do it to appraise if they urgently need to settle or there is still time to look at other listings.


It is every homebuyer’s wish to find agent who will make sure to meet the needs of a client. With these insights at hand, hopefully, they will be able to hire the services of a good agent.
