Buying or selling a property in Etobicoke requires a realtor with passion, confidence, experience, and expertise.

Dozens of realtors and real estate agents exist, ranging from the very new and inexperienced to those with years of experience completing transactions in the community. As you get in touch with different realtors, here are the best questions to ask to find the best Etobicoke realtor for your needs.

1. How Much Experience Do They Have?

Ask about a realtor’s experience and what certifications, if any, that they have to their name as it applies to your property.

2. Does Their Personality Mesh With Yours?

You may prefer a realtor whose style is to push, negotiate, and hustle but others may want a more relaxed, softer approach that goes a little slower in helping you find the right property. They’re different personalities but each has value, especially if they’re in line with yours.

3. Do They Have A Team Or Work Alone?

Some real estate agents work with a team to maximize their time and resources. While it’s not necessarily a bad thing if you are working with a realtor who is independent, you want to make sure they have the commitment to give and time for you.

4. Do They Understand Your Type Of Property?

Whether you are buying or selling, you may be chasing a specific type of property, such as an older home, fixer-upper, new build, condo, or a specific aesthetic. A realtor should have a firm grasp of what you want and they have to in order to be able to match it.

5. How Will They Market Your Home?

Every realtor is a little different. Ask what approach they will use, where they will market your home, and how. Ask them outright how they intend to drive buyers to your property based solely on their marketing approach.

6. What Is Your Communication Style?

Find a realtor who meshes with how you like to communicate and how often you want communications done. As a client, you will want to know they have enough time for you, which is quickly evidenced in their response time to calls, emails, and/or texts.

7. Do They Have Contacts That Can Help?

An experienced realtor will have someone ready to call for home inspections, staging, renovations, roofing, plumbing, electrical work, and more. A skilled realtor will have a network of industry connections ready to pull from if needed.

8. How Knowledgeable Is Your Realtor?

A realtor should know the communities they’re serving. Assuming you’re a buyer, a realtor should be able to help you find a neighbourhood suited to you and your lifestyle.

9. What Are Their Reviews On Social Media?

You can easily research almost any Etobicoke realtor by looking at them on search engines, their website, and social media. In fact, social media may give you the most insight into how they operate and what past clients say about their service.
