Like in so many professions, reputation and word-of-mouth are
crucial. Indeed, for WEST ANDERSON agents, client and agent
referrals account for about 70% of business. As you begin your
search for your WEST ANDERSON agent, talk to family, friends, and
colleagues who have gone through the home buying
process to see if they can recommend anyone. You can also use the
Internet, or visit one of our National Offices.
As a homebuyer, look for an agent who is experienced in your
market, but not so busy that they can't give
you due attention. WEST ANDERSON agents that carry the Estate
Agency Affairs Board (―EAAB‖) accreditation are skilled in
understanding and responding to the specific needs of buyers.
Consider looking for a good agent before you look for a home and
you'll be served, not sold. Your interests become their interests, and
you'll be working with someone who has gone the extra mile by
completing specialized training in delivering the best in buyer
representation services. Property agents who have an EAAB
accreditation also have established track records, with proven
experience in representing the concerns of homebuyers. To find a
