Tips for Getting a Good Real Estate Agent

If you're thinking of hiring a real estate agent, there are several tips that you can follow to get a good agent. These include interviewing and building relationships with other agents in the area. Lastly, a good agent should have a positive attitude and be interested in helping people. This will help you feel more comfortable with him or her, and you can trust him or her. Here are some of the most important tips that you should consider when selecting a real estate agent.

Qualities of a good real estate agent

There are many qualities to look for in a real estate agent. A real estate agent must be proactive and manage a large volume of information. This includes maintaining an up-to-date database, producing reports and optimizing customer management. Agents should be friendly and personable, and should be interested in helping people. They should also have a strong sales background and be comfortable communicating with different types of people. These qualities will make your life easier as a potential client, and will help you find a good agent.

One of the most important qualities of a real estate agent is the ability to listen. They should be able to understand the needs and preferences of their clients, and should be able to adapt their style to the needs of each individual client. They should also be flexible enough to be available any time, and use the most effective methods of communication. A good real estate agent should be able to communicate with clients on their preferred methods of communication.

Interviewing a real estate agent

It is important to conduct an interview with a real estate agent if you want to find the best agent to sell your home. The agent should be able to share the details of the homes that they have sold as well as relevant market information and awards. They should also have advanced credentials and experience in various marketing techniques. Interviewing a real estate agent is a great opportunity to learn more about their expertise and personality.

When interviewing a real estate agent, it is imperative to find out what qualities the broker is looking for in the agent. You can also ask specific questions to determine what they have to offer and what they don't. For example, you may want an agent who has experience working with investors or vacation properties. You can also ask about their knowledge of the area's school districts. The more information you gather, the better.

Building relationships with fellow agents

Often, referrals for new clients will come from fellow real estate agents. Getting referrals from other real estate professionals is an excellent way to build your network. Likewise, building relationships with other niche agents can help you specialize and increase your referrals. A good real estate agent maintains a good reputation among fellow agents and focuses on continuing education. In addition, fellow agents are often the first to know about new listings, which is an excellent way to expand your network.

A good real estate agent should also be pleasant to deal with. A good agent makes himself available and will never leave you waiting. If your agent ignores you, there is a good chance they are doing something wrong. Similarly, a good agent will put their client's needs above their own. A good agent will make the effort to build a relationship with their clients by being honest, even if it means compromising the price of a house.

Knowing the local market

If you're thinking about hiring a real estate agent, it's important to know about the local market. You'll need to get to know your community, and that can be done by knowing the community leaders and chambers of commerce. You'll also want to be aware of the current inventory levels and average sales prices. The better a real estate agent knows the local market, the better he or she will be able to advise you accordingly.

Whether you're buying or selling a home, it's essential to know the market and your agent's capabilities. A good real estate agent will be familiar with the market and can target a specific area with his or her marketing strategy. For example, a real estate agent in a large city may focus on one or two zip codes, whereas a real estate agent in a small town may target a larger geographic area.

Will There Be 400 New Homes Build in Oceanside?

Oceanside’s Planning Commission has recommended rezoning 25.6 acres along North River Road to clear the way for up to 400 homes on land historically used to grow and pack row crops such as strawberries and tomatoes.

The proposed Tierra Norte development is about three miles west of a larger proposed residential project, also on North River Road, that has sharply divided Oceanside over the conversion of agricultural land to residential uses.

The Tierra Norte property, owned by Oceanside-based developer Tierra Norte LLC, is 25.6 acres off North River Road just south of Old River Road.

The proposed development, called Tierra Norte, would be built in three phases. The first phase, called Tierra Norte I, would include 200 homes, a community center, 17 acres of open space and 12.5 acres of parks.

The second phase, called Tierra Norte II, would include 200 more homes, as well as 30 acres of open space and 12.5 acres of parks.

The third phase, called Tierra Norte III, would include 200 more homes, 30 acres of open space and 12.5 acres of parks.

The development would be built along North River Road, and the homes would be clustered in neighborhoods, with open space and parks in between.

The Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning.

“The project has been thoroughly vetted,” said Commissioner Robert Long. “It’s consistent with our plan. It’s consistent with the community plan. It’s consistent with our general plan.”

The Tierra Norte project has been in the works for about two years, said Planning Commissioner Andrea McWilliams.

The Planning Commission, which voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the Tierra Norte rezoning, has recommended approval of the project twice before, in 2017 and 2018.

The Tierra Norte project has been appealed to the City Council, which is scheduled to vote on the rezoning Aug. 20.

The City Council rejected the project in 2018, but that decision was overturned after residents approved a ballot referendum in November 2020 that would have overturned the City Council’s approval of North River Farms, a 585-home community to be built between Stallion Drive and Wilshire Road in South Morro Hills.

The City Council voted 4-1 in March 2020 to overturn the 2018 decision, and Mayor Jim Wood, Councilman Bob Whalen and Councilman Jack Feller dissented.

The City Council is scheduled to vote on the Tierra Norte rezoning in August.
