What Buyers Look for in Agents--Florida Real Estate School

What Buyers Look for in Agents--Florida Real Estate School


Buyers, especially first time buyers, will be looking for a number of specific qualities in an agent that will guide them through the process of buying a home. Consider the needs of the buyer when showing them homes.

What do buyers look for in an agent when selecting and showing properties?


1. Buyers want you to perceive their physical and emotional needs…listen

2. A good Realtor helps in narrowing down the field of what I’m looking for, not just the agent’s own listings 

3. Use technology to do the research on the houses first so we don’t have to waste time looking at places we have no chance of buying 
As an agent, you need to know which homes will emotionally destroy your clients.

4. Save time by knowing and previewing the properties in ‘my’ criteria 

5. Buyers want to get property information readily. Give me information. I want to see MLS descriptions and comparables and neighborhood information.

6. Have knowledge of the market: price and terms 

7. Have knowledge of the area: schools, stores, traffic, taxes 

8. Don’t rush the buyer so much he buys the wrong house

9. Buyers want you to point out features, including negatives 
"The location is great on this one, but I'll be honest: it's just a rock with a hole for a door."

10. Buyers don’t want you to always agree with them. Suggest options and give advice. 

If you embody these traits for buyers, you will be well on your way to meeting their needs and selling more homes in the process. Win-win!

Buyer Service Agreement Template--Florida Real Estate School

Buyer Service Agreement Template--Florida Real Estate School

You could surprise a prospective buyer by offering a non-exclusive Buyer Service Agreement

Here are some examples of promises you could make that would build loyalty: 

I have access to Real Estate Listing Aggregators to keep me abreast of any new listings – not only from any MLS company – but also by owner, by builder, and by developer. I watch daily for the following: 

  1. Houses that sold quickly but are back on the market because the buyer did not obtain financing
  2. PRICE REDUCTIONS (sometimes as high as $100,000) 
  3. New Listings! The best homes at the right price sell within 30 days 

I can forward details of the property in a matter of seconds. In addition to the standard MLS sites, I subscribe to (list examples Trulia, Zillow, etc.)

New construction: We have great builders if you wish to build a new home


Even if your buyer wants an impossible cloud-home, you get it done.


Bargain hunters: I am in a position to access bank-owned properties and short sales. I can show you these, write and present your offer for you. 

For Sale By Owner: I can act as your transaction broker. 

I will spend 1-2 hours with you, up front, just learning about your real estate needs. We will determine: 

  • What style of homes you like 
  • What you would like in extras 
  • 12 major areas to watch when purchasing, to avoid a wrong decision 
  • What price range you are comfortable with 
  • Determine what a lender will qualify you for 
  • What down payment is comfortable for you 
  • What monthly payment would fit your budget 
  • What areas you will consider 
  • Answers to any questions about which types of finance are best for you 
  • The process of getting a mortgage 

If you have a house to sell before purchasing, I will do a FREE analysis showing you what you have in equity 


"Okay, guys, we can't get ahead of ourselves. All we did was put up a sign."


I give weekly reports to my buyers and sellers until the sale closes 

I am a full-time agent with professional support services 

I care about earning and KEEPING you as a client 

I enjoy marketing homes and helping buyers find a home they can be happy in.  Should I have the opportunity to work with you I will do my best to serve all your real estate needs.  

Let your prospective buyers know this information and you will be more suited to meet their needs in no time.
