Choosing the Right Agent

Whether you’re selling or buying, the realtor you choose can make all the difference in how long the process takes, the final price you get, the home loans you choose, and how satisfied you are with the process. While every situation is different, here are a few things to look for to determine whether an agent is a good match for your circumstances:

• Ask about experience. While every state has requirements for holding a real estate license, most are not too difficult to meet. Therefore, it’s the experience that makes the difference. Ask some specific questions, such as these:

How many homes has the agent sold in the last 12 months?

How many clients have the professional helped buy a home in the last year?

Were those transactions in a similar price range to yours?

Does the agent know your neighborhood or the one in which you hope to buy?

• Trust is key. Your home, whether you’re buying one or selling one, is probably the most expensive thing you will ever own. The person you choose to help you manage that asset is vital to your future, just as much as your investment broker or your banker. Don’t give control of such a giant piece of your wealth to just anyone. Interview multiple agents and eliminate any who don’t seem to have a high level of integrity.

• Communication is critical. If an agent’s communication style doesn’t sit well with you, the whole experience will be frustrating. Arrange to speak with the agent by phone, via email, and through text to see how they might behave when acting on your behalf.

• Response time should be reasonable. When you have a question about how to purchase a new home or sell one, your agent shouldn’t take days to get back to you. While they can’t be available to you 24/7, you should respect a response to calls, emails, and texts within a few hours, unless the agent tells you they will be out of touch on a specific date.

Research thoroughly. Selling or buying a home can take a few weeks or several months. If you have to start over with a new agent, you can lose valuable time. Search for online reviews and talk to people you know who have used the agent’s services. An experienced agent will have many clients in your area, so you should have no problem finding references if you ask around.

• The economy is always relevant. Buying or selling real estate and the economy in your area are inextricably linked. Your agent should understand the basics of supply and demand and the specific factors involved in your local economy. For example, if a new employer is moving into town and building a factory near your neighborhood, your agent should understand how that affects the demand for homes in the area.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Here is just a small sample of Testimonials from the thousands of Clients, Suzanne Rocha and the Cal Home Team have helped. We are so proud of the exceptional experience we have provided our clients throughout the years!

“Suzanne Rocha is fabulous (as is her entire team)! She is extremely knowledgeable and handled our sales impeccably. She is trustworthy and made good on her promise to sell our house discreetly and quickly (it was on the market for less than 30 days). She somehow pulled off this amazing feat without the use of for-sale signs and other intrusive and let’s face it, outdated, methods. There are a lot of realtors to select from in the Bay Area but I truly

feel that Suzanne is the best. She is the consummate professional and is a lot of fun to work with to boot! Thanks again Suzanne for all you did for us.”

– Shawna White and Family

“I worked with Suzanne Rocha to sell my home and I couldn’t have been more pleased! Throughout the entire selling process, Suzanne was caring, creative, conscientious, and motivated. Her work ethic was extraordinary. She was easy to stay in contact with and would return emails/phone calls promptly. I always felt as though I was her only client even though I knew she had a very busy schedule. I highly recommend Suzanne and will definitely use her services in the future.”

– V. Bam-Williams

“If you expect professionalism in every aspect of a business, I highly recommend Suzanne. Her expertise is unparalleled. We interviewed other realtors, but she stood out. She just doesn’t sell your house. She makes sure the offers are solid (there’s money in the bank). Our house sold and closed in one week. She is also a caring person and parting with her is like saying goodbye to a long-time friend.”

– Rose and Allen Ready

“I highly recommend Suzanne Rocha to anyone who wants to sell their home! Suzanne was great with the innovative marketing of our “As Is” home, and also was wonderful to work with! She gave us good advice as to what we should do, and what to expect during the selling and inspections process. We received offers on our home within days after it was listed. Suzanne was our constant “Cheerleader” and always kept us updated. Our house sold and closed in one month above and beyond our asking price! Suzanne Rocha is the BEST!”

– Lynn Haynes

“There are not enough great words to describe the awesome job Suzanne and Kris did in the sale of my mother’s home and purchase of her new home. Suzanne and Kris are the most professional, kind-hearted, and knowledgeable agents you would ever want to meet. Even with the unforeseen problems we encountered they remained calm and made it happen. They never gave up and just pushed forward. Outstanding knowledge of the industry, large span of network, and many connections to fit your needs. If you want your real estate transaction done right you have found the RIGHT TEAM!!!”

– Karen Gaskin and Jeanette Williams
