It seems like everyone knows someone who knows someone who is a real estate agent. There’s a lot of us around! When choosing an agent there are many things to consider and I’m going to tell you why you should choose a CENTURY 21 Discovery agent. I think we have the best agents around. I may be a little biased but I’ll lay out the reasons why I believe they are.

Local Market Knowledge

Our CENTURY 21 Discovery agents have a clear understanding of what is going on in your local real estate market. A good agent can find out what’s going on in the market with a little research. A great agent knows exactly what is going on in the market on a daily basis. You want an agent who has their hand on the pulse of the market. We instill in our agents the importance of the knowing the communities they serve by constantly educating themselves on local market activity. Their knowledge will empower you as you price your home, review and accept offers or make an offer on that dream home.

International Reach

A CENTURY 21 Discovery agent has access through the Century 21 system to a network of agents across the country and across the world. Our listings are placed on a global site that allows the user to view the listing in their own language. If you’re moving out of the area, our agents can tap into that database of international agents, vet them, and find just the right one to meet your needs.

Industry Education

Forms and protocols in the real estate industry are constantly evolving and changing. CENTURY 21 Discovery is known in the local real estate world as the leader in training agents. This allows our agents to have the most current and up-to-date knowledge of the forms, rules and laws that must be adhered to in a real estate transaction. All this will help you avoid headaches and delays throughout the homebuying or selling process.

Leader In Marketing

Marketing a home for sale has become a bit more sophisticated than just putting a sign in the yard and an ad in the local paper. CENTURY 21 Discovery agents have access to a suite of tools that allow them to market the listings at a high level, in numerous ways, giving you peace of mind and the results you expect.

Community Involvement

A huge part of our company culture is giving back to the communities we serve. We encourage our agents to actively engage in community service and philanthropy to demonstrate their commitment to the well-being of the community.  Their involvement allows them to establish themselves as the go-to resource for all things related to real estate in the community. Through this they gain a deeper understanding of local market trends, preferences, and developments. This insight is invaluable for effectively serving clients and providing them with relevant information about the area.

Who’s Your Realtor?

One final reason why you should choose a CENTURY 21 Discovery agent to guide you in the most important sale or purchase of your life is because they are REALTORS. Not all real estate agents are REALTORS. To become a REALTOR an agent must join the National Association of REALTORS and adhere to a strict code of ethics. So, the bar is set higher for an agent to be able to use the word “REALTOR” with their name. 

If you are interviewing agents for the sale or purchase of real estate, make sure to ask them about these things: local market knowledge, international reach, industry education, marketing tools they will use to sell your home, community involvement and if they are a REALTOR. If they can’t provide you with answers about all these areas of the business, give me a call. I have the perfect agent for you.
