  • Although there are a lot of highly qualified
    Tustin real estate agents, there may be some you
    would really want to avoid. Find out how long the
    agent has been in the business. Even if the
    salesperson has been in business only a few
    years, the office should have been around a long
    time. Try to do business only with an agent or
    office that has a long track record of five years
    at the least. Work with a national franchise.
    While this is no guarantee youll get an active
    agent, it does give you some assurance of at
    least minimal quality in terms of procedures.

  • Bona Fide Realtor or not?
  • If the agent becomes truly incompetent and
    negligent, you can always appeal to the national
    office of the chain. Ask to see the agents real
    estate license. In all states, agents must be
    licensed and that license must be prominently
    displayed in their office. Theyll be pleased to
    show it to you. Ask if the agent is a bona fide
    Tustin Realtor. This is a member of the National
    Association of Realtors (NAR), which helps
    educate agents and promotes better business
    practices. Ask for recommendations. Call people
    the agent has dealt with in the past. See what
    they say. Ask if they would deal with this agent
    again.

  • Check the Firms Legitimacy
  • Check with the local better business bureau or
    (in an extreme case) the local district
    attorneys office to see if there are now pending
    or have ever been any complaints against the
    agent or the office. Call the state real estate
    department and ask if the agents license has
    ever been revoked or suspended or if the agent
    has ever been disciplined. This is public
    information to which you are entitled. Quite
    frankly, few buyers will ever take these last two
    steps as most real estate companies in Orange
    County are really trustworthy. But theres little
    harm in being sure.

  • Dont Judge by Appearance
  • In most cases, we tend to accept a friendly smile
    and a solid handshake as evidence of competency
    and honesty. In most cases, things work out just
    ?ne. Remember, however, you are now considering
    those very few bad apples. The worst thing that
    you can do is to ?nd out youve been dealing with
    a bad agent after something has happenedafter
    youve made an offer that has somehow gone awry
    and has resulted in a money loss to you or the
    threat of a lawsuit from the seller or some other
    injured party. A few calls can suddenly tell you
    that this agent has been in hot water since he
    got his license.

  • Do a Background Check
  • Many states have recovery funds. If you have been
    damaged by an agents actions, you may be able to
    recover at least a portion of the damages from
    the fund. Check with your states department of
    real estate. Remember, it takes only one or two
    phone calls and perhaps fifteen minutes of time
    talking to the right people to get a minimal
    background check on the person who is going to
    advise you on what is probably the biggest
    investment youll make in your life. It will give
    you positive proof and its a very good start
    when you are looking for Tustin top agents.
