Property tours with your Seattle Realtor
After you have reviewed with your agent and discussed your likes and dislikes, price ranges, neighborhoods, etc., they will have a much better picture of what you are really interested in. Usually within a few days of you first appointment with your Realtor, he or she will put together a list of homes for the two of you to go visit. The more information you provide your realtor in advance, the more targeted the tour will be.
The main purpose of this tour is for the agent to get a better, clearer picture of what might work for you. Your agent might test you by showing you homes that are a different than what you requested, just to see how you react. If the agent keeps showing you stuff you’re not interested in, then the agent is probably not listening to you and deciding for you what you should see. You have no obligation to keep working with a bad real estate agent.
In general, your agent will drive you around to see homes a couple of different times. After that, the agent will be more selective in what he shows you and may be on a more case by case basis. Likewise, if you see properties that look promising contact your realtor and arrange a viewing. If you agent is really on top of things, they will be busy running around previewing homes in advance of showing them to you so they don’t waste your time showing you lemons.
