When you are looking for a real estate agent in Colorado Springs to help you BUY your next home here are the Top 5 things to look for.

1. Make sure the real estate agent that you choose has access to the Pikes Peak MLS (membership to the local Realtor board) and has their OWN lockbox key. A real estate agent who does not have their own access to the local MLS and to the lockboxes that we (as an area) use on our listings, will only be a great disservice to you. Only a local REALTOR with Pikes Peak MLS access and a lockbox key will be able to do a comprehensive search for homes in Colorado Springs that would fit your needs.

2. Find out how “busy” your real estate agent is. If you are only one of 2-3 immediate/ active clients that an agent is working with, you have a MUCH better chance of getting the attention and service that you deserve. Another great alternative is to hire a Buyer Agent who works on a real estate team. A team environment will enable a real estate agent to give the attention needed to each of their clients because they have the an entire team of experts supporting them.

3. Ask around for referrals. More than likely, you know someone who just purchased a home in Colorado Springs. Ask them who represented them and how well THEY liked that agent.

4. Interview more than one agent. Most home buyers in Colorado Springs only interview one agent before buying a home. Before you sign that Buyer Agency Agreement, make sure that you LIKE the agent and feel comfortable with them and the services that they offer. (And if after a couple days you realize that you do NOT wish to work with them, you have the right to fire them – as long as you are not already under contract. How to go about this is different from agent to agent, so you may have to ask.)

5. Ask for testimonials. A good great real estate agent in Colorado Springs should be able to supply you with some names and numbers of past clients who could tell you about their experiences working with that agent.

Remember, the agent representing the Seller is not your agent and does not owe you any representation. It is very important to have your interests represented when you are looking to buy a home for sale in Colorado Springs. Use these 5 Tips to help you find the Best real estate agent in Colorado Springs for you.
