The Best Way to find a Good Agent where you plan to move

Sometimes it is a misconception that a REALTOR® can only help you in the city where they practice.  However, if you have an existing REALTOR® you trust tap into their resources and expertise and allow them to ease your transition!  


Your local agent is the best resource to find a new agent where you plan to move.  This can save you the trouble of trying to find and then interview potential new candidates to help you with your next big investment and home.  Real Estate Agents vary immensely in their experience, knowledge and expertise.  A great way to find a good agent is to use a good agent! 


A good agent will start by interviewing agents in the place you plan to move who have put in the effort to obtain the Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) Designation and Education.  This is a group of elite residential agents.  Only 4% of Real Estate Agents have this illustrious designation, yet these CRS agents are behind 25% of home sales!  Just in having this designation, an agent has demonstrated an interest in excellence and dedication to the profession.

  "CRS is the symbol of excellence in residential real estate. 

Our members have proven they have the experience, training and commitment to be among the best in their profession."

Brendan has earned this designation and therefore is greatly qualified and very successful in finding the right Real Estate Agent for a person desiring to move elsewhere.  This network of highly trained professionals is an incredible resource.  Additionally, Brendan has developed a large network of other agents in the United States, and a database on their respective qualifications and specializations.  This allows him to be much more effective finding you the right agent: 

"Why Use a CRS?

You have a valued client moving to another state. But you don't have any REALTOR® contacts there. How can you find another REALTOR who has the appropriate education, expertise and professionalism and who will care about your client's needs as much as you do? With nearly 33,000 CRS Designees located throughout the country, it’s easy to find just the right professional for the job.

More important, they are pre-qualified for your clients. As CRS Designees, they have completed advanced training in residential real estate and have a proven track record of sales transactions required to earn the CRS Designation.

Like you, they are consummate professionals. And you know your client is being cared for as if you were their REALTOR® in the new city and state."

And in the end, you help the REALTOR® you already trust by asking them to refer you to another qualified and serious agent in the place you plan to move.  Real Estate, as is many other professions based upon the premise of connections and referrals and therefore ultimately trust and synergy. 


Happy Moving!  And remember to utilize your REALTOR® whenever possible!
