How do I choose a Realtor in Coquitlam?
Ask three things, and ask them of everyone you interview. First, how long they have actually been licensed and what they have closed recently — Kristy has been licensed since 2004. Second, what training they hold beyond the basic licence: hers is ABR® (Accredited Buyer’s Representative), SRES® (Seniors Real Estate Specialist), RENE® (Real Estate Negotiation Expert) and negotiation training through BCIT. Third, ask to see the actual marketing plan for your property in writing, not a description of one.
Then check whether the claims are verifiable. Kristy was a 2017 Medallion Club Qualifier, which represents the top 10 per cent of REALTORS® in Greater Vancouver, and she spent nearly ten years as an internationally award-winning home stager before that. Anything a Realtor tells you should be checkable somewhere other than their own website.
