How to Pick a Real Estate Agent

How to Pick a real estate agent

 The right real estate professional isn’t just someone who can close a deal – they’re someone who prioritizes your long-term success and well-being. The best fit is a broker who sees beyond the immediate transaction, someone who has your best interests at heart not just today, but years down the road.

A great broker isn’t focused on making a quick commission. Instead, they’re building a relationship that could lead to selling your property three to five years later – when the time is right for you. They’re also helping you identify opportunities that align with your goals, ensuring you feel confident in your home as both a living space and an investment.

At RealEstatePDX.com, we bring a unique perspective by combining investment expertise with residential home buying. It’s not just about finding a beautiful house – it’s about ensuring you’re making a sound investment. I work closely with my clients to navigate negotiations thoughtfully and strategically, helping them secure the best possible terms, whether they’re buying or selling.

Communication is key. To be successful in this Portland real estate market, you have to be first in line for the home or investment property you are looking for. A great broker needs to be responsive and proactive – someone who’s “Johnny on the Spot” when it comes to addressing your needs. I’ve always believed that clear, consistent communication is the foundation of trust, and I make it a priority to keep my clients informed every step of the way. The way I approach real estate is simple – listen carefully, act decisively, and negotiate with confidence.

We also utilize cutting-edge technology to streamline the process, ensuring you feel supported, informed, and ready to make decisions that align with your goals.

If you’re looking for a broker who understands the value of both relationships and investments – and who will advocate for you at every stage – let’s connect. I’m Harlan Mayer, Principal Broker with RealEstatePDX.com, and I’d love to share more about how we help our clients build lasting wealth through real estate. You can reach me at 503-288-3979 or harlan@realestatepdx.com.
