Hire A Top Regina Real Estate Agent

About Kelsey Smith:

Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I started working in real estate in 2015. I began my career as the Leads Marketing Manager at a real estate brokerage and then moved to an administrative assistant role where I assisted twelve Regina real estate agents. Currently, I have been working as a real estate agent at REMAX Crown Real Estate for the past 3 years and I have been working as an agent for a total of 6 years.

As a buyer's agent, my top priority is providing my clients with an overload of information, guiding them throughout the buying process, and helping them find the right property. I take special pride in helping first time home buyers because they require more education and a hands on approach. First time buyers may not know about the buying process, costly defects, resale problems, or ongoing maintenance cost.

As a seller's agent, I want to provide my sellers with an exceptional selling experience. I have made it a priority to become an expert in marketing and real estate trends so I can help guide my clients and sell their homes quickly. It is important I understand the market and trends so I am able to provide a ton of information to my sellers and effectively market their property.

• Real Estate Negotiations Expert Designation (RENE®)
• Accredited Buyer's Representative Designation (ABR®)
• Certified Neuro-Linguistic Practitioner (NLP)

Things To Consider When Hiring A Real Estate Agent:

• Agent's Online Presence: It is critical that you find a real estate agent who has built and maintains their online presence. Websites and social media allow you to get to know the real estate agent before you decide to meet them face to face. Plus, it allows past clients the opportunity to leave feedback and testimonials for you to read. Top Regina real estate agents are the people who embraced social media to build their online reputation and personal brand. They create local social media content to resonate with their community which helps them position themselves as market leaders.
   
• Reputation In The City: The real estate community is small. All real estate agents talk to each other whether it is part of a transaction or in their brokerage office. This means stories about unethical and untrustworthy real estate agents spread quickly. Chances are, if a real estate agent has a good reputation, you will hear about them all the time. They are the ones people talk about, admire, and recommend. Additionally, if a real estate agent has a good reputation, their client will benefit because negotiations tend to be smoother and transactions close faster. If they have a poor reputation, their client will suffer because they could have sloppy paperwork, miss deadlines, or make untruthful claims. 
   
• Effort & Experience: Selling a home takes a lot of time and effort to get both the buyer and seller to agree on terms. A top Regina real estate agent is someone who is self-motivated, and has good time-management, communication, and problem-solving skills. A hard working real estate agent will stand apart from their competitors. You should hire a real estate agent who shows up on time for appointments, responds to messages quickly, meets deadlines, and is very organized. Additionally, a real estate agent's experience is important because they can help advise you when you should buy and sell, or if you should wait. Experienced real estate agents have built rapport with other agents, understand market trends, and learnt good negotiation skills. Plus, they can identify and predict trends, which industry professionals you should trust or avoid, help expedite home sales, and help you get a more favourable deal.

When To Reach Out:

• Looking To Understand The Home Buying Process: Buying a home is a huge purchase and can be intimidating when you’re not sure what to expect. A top Regina real estate agent will help you understand the home buying process by teaching and explaining concepts to you, and answer any questions you may have. They will help you find homes that suit your needs, help you work with a mortgage broker, negotiate an offer to purchase, navigate legal paperwork, set up home appraisals and inspections, help avoid potential pitfalls, and much more. It is important that you reach out to someone who is experienced and knowledgeable, and will make the buying process smooth and less stressful for you.
   
• Deciding If Or When To Sell: It will never be the perfect time to move from your current home. In order to determine whether you should sell soon, you should consider your life circumstances, financial situation, and market conditions. It may be time to move if your home no longer suits your needs, you are ready for a change, you're emotionally ready, and you have the necessary funds to buy a new home and get your current house ready to sell. It would be a good idea to reach out to a real estate agent to help you determine if now is a good time for you to sell. They will help you determine how much your home is worth, local market trends, how long it may take to sell your home, and improvements you can make to your house to get it sold quicker. These factors will help you decide if you are emotionally and financially ready to sell your home.
   
• Get The House Ready: In order to increase the chance of selling your home quickly, there are a few things you should consider doing before putting your home on the market. There are plenty of inexpensive and easy things you can do to make your home more appealing to buyers. These include decluttering, depersonalizing, deep cleaning, repainting, and staging. It is a good idea to reach out to a top Regina real estate agent to help you determine the best things to do to get your home ready for sale. They know the market and what buyers are looking for. These small things could be the difference between an offer and your home sitting on the market.

If you do decide to hire a professional to help you buy or sell a home, it is important that you select a top Regina real estate agent. It is vital that you choose someone you trust, feel comfortable around, and will explain concepts to you. It is okay to ask tough questions to help you make the best buying or selling decision. Do not be afraid to reach out, I will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the buying and selling process.
