Thank you so much for this. I’m one of those kids growing up rn w nobody teaching me how the real estate market works. Its honestly a very scary journey, but this video makes me feel a little less dwarfed. We need more educational videos like this for adolescents/young adults. Thank you so much.
I searched "how to find a real estate agent". I was unsure as to what video I wanted to start with. I noticed your six string chillin' on the wall and thought "ayeee, fellow musician, must know what he's talking about" (silly, I know)... in the end, I am stoked that I chose this video. Informative. Dig the ambiance of the room. Dressed to impress, and the notes were useful. You have earned a new sub. Good day, friend!
Hi Tori, I'm a fellow musician as well (guitarist). I have a real estate referral business (links on my profile) if you are in need of a good agent. Make way for the positive day!
As a Realtor- I thank you for this video, all great advice. Especially to have an interview to see who clicks with you. We go through quite the journey together, a good rapport and mutual understanding makes it all so much easier and less stressful!
I recently got my RE license in California and your videos are super informational and I think that you just helped me come up with a great pitch on how to help future clients. I believe that a realtor that is able to teach the process will be able to relieve much of the stress and unknowns for clients. Thanks for the great videos :)
I just called the top three agents in the area I was looking in (most recent sales) and picked the one I liked. I know it seems unfair to all the others (particularly new agents), but buying a home is a big investment.
How far in advance of being ready to buy a home should you be getting a pre-qualification letter? If I'm looking to buy in June-September (2022), should I get pre-qualified in January? Love the vids.
Interesting video. You should also do one about people finding agents out of state. Many of us are moving out of the north and going south and the hard part is finding a good agent.
Your videos walked me through everything. You are definitely a great teacher. Never seen someone like you giving some hints to the point. Love what you do.
As always, everything calm and information on point. Right what I was looking for after having an agent ghosting me and the other one rushing to sell what I least wanted. Wish me luck!!
It really depends on your personal comfort level. But, if you initially reach out to a real estate agent, a reasonable time to hear back from them is within 24 hours. Once you're working with them, I would expect that window to shrink down to within 3 hours during normal working hours. The same applies for loan officers.
How do I go about this when I’m moving out of state? And how do I know if they’re a dual agent on a place? And what are the signs of one of them being unethical? Yes I’m about as green as they come. Lol.
Thanks and.gd job. I've been trying to decide how to proceed 1st. Agent or lender. Other ppl videos have suggested getting agent 1st but living in the hot RE market of Atlanta and from the little I've experienced, the agents usually ask if I've gotten approved or chosen a lender. 1st time homebuyer so im still in the very beginning stage. So now I plan to focus on finding a complimentary lender 1st. Thx again
Most good agents I know won't show a house without a pre-qualification letter from a lender. They need to make sure a buyer is able to buy a home AND it's for the safety of an agent. Getting pre-qualified first is going to make the home shopping so much easier. You'll have the freedom to write offers because you know what is in your price range and you know exactly how much your monthly payment will be and the cash you'll owe at closing.
I have a question; How can would I find FHA accepted Townhouse in Henderson Nv ? I’m a first time home buyer, truck driver, 5 years $ 54,000.00 a year. Credit is 710 - 730 It’s not as easy as though. Thank you for your time 🙏

I know they want you to be pre-qualified. But how are you supposed to know what the market is like, without seeing some houses first. Especially now, where everyone wants you to over pay for a house.
My mortgage broker recommended against getting pre-qualified. Because a lot of banks will bar you from a future application if you fail the pre-approval process, even if you just missed a piece of personal ID.
Hmm, that sounds like a un-trustworthy broker. I've never heard of any bank doing that. Even if they did, I would never work with a company that chose to operate that way. Also, if you apply with a lender and get denied, there's no way for another lender to know if you were approved or not. That information cannot legally be shared. Anyone who directs you against a proven plan is someone I wouldn't work with.

@@WinTheHouseYouLove As I have had Realtors tell me, Transaction agents can represent both buyer and seller. As I understand it, a buyer agent won't. What am I not understanding?
Can a lender be a mortgage broker, or does it have to be a bank? Also, I plan to move to a different county when I buy, about 2 hours from where I am now. Which area do I find the lender at, where I currently reside, or the county/area I plan to move to? I am aware I should find the REALTOR in the area I plan to buy a home.
What about an agent who doesn't do real estate full-time? We're in contact with someone that we like; she's been insightful and responsive, but has many other jobs/things on-the-go. I'm worried about her other commitments getting in the way when things ramp up. Anyone with any experience with this?
I am in the process of buying my first home, so I haven't encountered this myself. But, with that said, you are talking about investing several hundred thousand dollars. You might want to think very seriously about trusting this kind of investment to someone who isn't committed to doing this as a full time job. Just keeping up with changes in the real estate market should occupy several hours of time each week, not to mention changes in local regulations. You could lose everything if mistakes are made.
So I'm a first time homebuyer and I spoke with a realtor who gave me a low amount do I need to speak with more realtors or is that the only amount I'm qualified for????
I'd do some searches here: www.zillow.com/agent-finder/real-estate-agent-reviews/ And call a few real estate brokerages and ask for agents with new construction experience.
If people are first-time homebuyers, then their mortgage lenders will likely refer them to their most experienced realtor partners. This is how it's done now, and why so many realtors, especially newer agents, never get a chance to work! People aren't choosing their own realtors anymore. Mortgage lenders are now referring realtors, after they approve them for home loans. It's an unethical practice that leaves a lot of realtors out of the mix. What is being done about it? Nothing. Mortgage lenders are now acting as real estate brokerages, handing out realtors to clients. This completely defeats the purpose of realtors signing up with brokerages, if it's lenders who are assigning realtors to approved clients. To get work, realtors now need to kowtow to mortgage lenders. This isn't what many realtors signed up to do.
@@WinTheHouseYouLove Most people are well aware of the importance of paying dues. So, that isn't the issue. However, you can't pay dues if you can't get opportunities to pay dues. If everyone is getting their realtors through their lenders, then why should people look for realtors anywhere else? What about realtors who are door knocking, mailing letters with business cards, and calling prospects everyday? It seems people have stopped hiring realtors generating leads in these traditional ways, because they're either already working with or have worked with in the past, a lender's referral.
Thank you for your feedback! While I understand where you're coming from, many people find online research and asking friends to be a helpful starting point in finding a realtor.
You're voice is so soothing

In my experience, pre-approval is only good for 6 months.

Great info as usual!
I appreciate that!
How long should you wait for a realtor to communicate with you about their availability or house yours ?
It really depends on your personal comfort level. But, if you initially reach out to a real estate agent, a reasonable time to hear back from them is within 24 hours. Once you're working with them, I would expect that window to shrink down to within 3 hours during normal working hours. The same applies for loan officers.
@@WinTheHouseYouLove thank you!

Sure thing!
I am looking to buy a property and my realtor told me there are 2 fees I have to pay to him and his company. Any advice on that ?
Do you use some special app to make your voice so nice? It's so soothing.
Thanks! I just add a compressor to my audio and that's it

Open houses are a good way to see homes without getting pre-qualified

So how do you find a buyers agent in Florida?
Every realtor said they were a 'transaction agent', and had no idea of how to find a buyers agent.
Transaction agent and buyers agent are interchangeable terms
@@WinTheHouseYouLove As I have had Realtors tell me, Transaction agents can represent both buyer and seller. As I understand it, a buyer agent won't. What am I not understanding?
Heu im in Tennessee realator is sketchy now after telling us after appraisal says no go on the house but now wants us to go in and sign more papers??
It depends what papers. Probably a cancelation or contract. Read before you sign

Sure thing! I'm a broker, so I like brokers.
Ideally, you'll want someone close to where you'll be moving.
I can connect you with a Realtor in the area you plan to buy a home. I have a real estate referral business, links on my profile.

A real estate agent can't qualify you for a loan, only a lender can.
Any tips for finding a realtor who has new construction experience?
I'd do some searches here: www.zillow.com/agent-finder/real-estate-agent-reviews/
And call a few real estate brokerages and ask for agents with new construction experience.
