What makes a great real estate agent?
Choosing the right real estate agent can help you fast-track buying or selling and take the stress out of what can already be an emotional experience.
It can be helpful to keep the following in mind when choosing a real estate agent in Tuggeranong:
- Qualified. It’s still essential to check that your real estate agent is fully qualified and licensed. This will give you peace of mind that they have what it takes to achieve the best possible outcome for you.
- Market knowledge. You’ll want a real estate agent who knows the current market. Look for an agent who has been in Tuggeranong for some time and who is happy to share their in-depth knowledge of the market.
