Should I select a real estate team or single real estate agent?

by Robert Earl

Lets face it, Some people prefer to make sure that one person is responsible for & doing everything involved with a particular service. They don't want to have to track down multiple people & get multiple answers to what is going on.

Now if you are one of those people then you don't need to read any further because this article is going to focus on the benefits of working with a Real Estate Team as compared to working with an individual agent.

You see, the local grocery store, restaurant and gas station all take a team approach to service, and no one bats a eye at that.

All of these industries take a team approach to customer service. Rarely does the same person that takes your order actually prepare your meal.

While it may have been slow to initially take this team approach, the real estate industry is catching on.

With real estate companies looking to better serve the marketplace, some individual agents have taken it upon themselves to create real estate teams to benefit home buyers and sellers.

How? The Team Leader, usually an experienced Real Estate Agent has taken the time to examine the entire real estate transaction process & identify the key steps & the standards of service that need to be provided for optimum customer satisfaction.

Team Members are empowered to make the necessary decisions and to take the required actions. They are trained to know when something is outside their area of expertise so that they can get the Managing Agent involved if needed.

Team members usually are specialist in the areas of Marketing, Transaction Coordination & Feedback follow-up. These administrative based task allow the agent to have more time devoted towards customer service and finding buyers for listings and houses for buyers.

Potential problems are avoided or mitigated during the closing process because team members are free to proactively coordinated & communicate with the lender, settlement company & other Agents.

Team members are trained to implement checks & balances and are trained to coordinate reviews and hand offs, all while the Lead Agent is available to Manage, Oversee & Clarify.

When assembled, a well running, trained, Real Estate Team is Truly a Time & Money saving benefit to those looking to buy a home in Northern Virginia or sell a home in Northern Virginia as opposed to working with an individual agent.
