<p> When you decide to look for a house to buy, you have two options. You can brave it alone, and negotiate with either the home's owner or his real estate agent, or you can call on the services of an agent yourself and work with them to find the right place. If you decide to contact an agency in the area you're searching, you probably will have discussed the matter with friends or family who have recommended certain people. This is fine - word of mouth sells, and you want to work with somebody you believe you can trust. A house purchase is a big deal, so you want somebody professional and knowledgeable in your corner. </p><p> As you browse for homes and confer with your spouse or family on possible bids, it's important to have a good relationship with your agent. One thing should be made clear up front: while your real estate agent will work toward your best interests, he/she is not your friend (unless, of course, you have called on a friend or relative who happens to be an agent). To put it more clearly, the agent has a vested interest in getting you into a home at a price you can afford and pay. He/she receives commission from the sale, so naturally you want to get along with whomever is showing you around town. </p><p> Regardless of the success of your outings, it's good to get along with your agent. Some things you will want to keep in mind when dealing with one: </p><p> 1) Establish guidelines for contact information. An active agent is going to look for possible properties for you. Often this could mean he/she will want you to come out to see a house as a soon as possible - hot properties tend to garner many bids just as the For Sale sign is hammered into the ground. If your work is demanding and you can't always take off at a moment's notice, establish your schedule beforehand and make arrangements with your partner/spouse to view homes in your place where necessary. </p><p> 2) Most agents have smart phones now - it's an important communication tool and can help you discern a good home before you make a trip. Set up a way for your real estate agent to send pictures of a potential home to <a href="https://www.home247.co/%E0%B8%82%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%B6%E0%B8%81%E0%B9%81%E0%B8%96%E0%B8%A7%E0%B9%81%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%B0%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%9E%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%93%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%8A%E0%B8%A2%E0%B9%8C%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%B7%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%87-%E0%B8%AB%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%82%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%87/" alt="อาคารพาณิชย์ ห้วยขวาง"> อาคารพาณิชย์ ห้วยขวาง</a> you so you can nix a house and save some time during the search. </p><p> 3) Always keeps a calm temper and be polite. It is your agent's job to find good homes, but at the end of the day you will be living in the house. Don't go along with a potential buy if you're not a hundred percent sold on the house, the location, and condition. </p><p> Get along with your real estate agent and you can establish a relationship that will get you into the home of your dreams. </p>
