Choosing Luxury Caribbean Real Estate Agents

By Steven Hayes


The immovable assets industry has been growing a lot over the years due to the increased numbers of buyers and sellers in the market. However, those buying and selling property usually find the process to be time consuming and inefficient. They, therefore, prefer working with realtors because they are professionals and use their knowledge to make the process smooth and profitable. Here are some tips for selecting luxury Caribbean real estate agents.

The first step is checking the number of years the realtors you are considering have been in the industry or operated in your locality. Select luxury realtors who have been around for decades since you can be sure they will keep their word. They understand the market and challenges that are faced. With the knowledge of their past experiences, they will encounter few or no challenges thus making the process smooth.

The next tip is checking the knowledge of the expert in these types of transactions. If you are a seller, the agent must have great marketing tools and knowledge required to reach your target market and have the property sold fast. Check if the agent has a system for screening prospective buyers and keeping information about the transaction and process a secret since most deals in luxury real estate are discrete.

The other thing to consider is the specialty. The luxury real estate is an industry on its own and not all realtors can work in it. Get an expert who is knowledgeable in this market and who will take time to study your property or the prospective property before commencing any transactions. To be sure the person is a specialist, request for a portfolio of all the properties he or she has helped buy or sell before and a list of some clients to corroborate their story.

The next important step is finding out if the agent you are considering belongs to any organization. Working with freelancers might be risky since it is not easy to know the credibility or character of the person. If they close sales successfully or not, it will be hard to know. But by working with members of an organization, you are assured that the experts have a clean track record and are updated.

Again, the person you select must be a good marketer both online and offline. The majority of buyers in this market look for properties online. You must be sure that the person knows how to market homes or condos using property listing websites. Apart from online techniques, the person must also use home showing events since some buyers do not want to only see the images. Rather they want to see the property itself.

A good luxury realtor will make sure that the process is smooth and profitable. Setting high prices for the property means very few potential buyers hence the property takes longer to sell. Low prices mean the asset will sell fast but at a loss. Opt for someone who will get you something close to the set price. Talk about the issue of the list price before hiring.

Lastly, a good realtor must know other realtors that have clients that can afford the kind of property you are selling. Furthermore, they should also know other prospective customers in the market. When buying, the realtor must have a strong network with agents that sell condos that match your needs and specifications.
