Posted by Radmin on May 26th, 2019

In many ways, choosing a real estate broker or brokerage is an intensely personal decision that if you choose correctly, can reap amazing rewards. Understanding what that broker or brokerage should possess, however, can be tricky. Here is a base line of what you should expect the top luxury real estate companies in Palm Beach to bring to the table.

Reputation for Success

That means experience and know-how applied to attain customer satisfaction. The top luxury real estate companies will have a history of matching customers with incredibly high expectations and standards with homes of equal caliber. The broker you want is not intimidated by your expectations, but rather has a portfolio of success stories for clients who were looking for the same standards of quality of life as you.

Trustworthiness

You want to be able to trust they will give you the entire history of a property, an accurate assessment of the community the home is located and will not try and squeeze your standards into whatever listings they have going. The broker you work with should always put their customers first, even if it means recommending they look at a property that will yield them less money in the long run.

For example, if education is important to you because of your children, brokers from the top luxury real estate companies will tell you up front if the local education system will meet your needs. They will also tell you if you can do better at another property.

Knowledgeable

Your broker should know the area you are looking like the back of their hand. They should have a history in the area as a broker. If possible, they should be a community member. At least, they should know “the locals” and what living in that neighborhood is like. Another area they should master is local community requirements, including zoning, Homeowner Association rules, local government, etc.

Diligent

A successful real estate broker you want to work with will ask you a lot of questions to get to now your desired and needs. They will ask if you are pre-qualified for a mortgage. They will ask about your budget and what, if any, flexibility in that exists. They will question you to get a good idea of your priorities in terms of the community you want to live in. There is no question they will not ask if it will help them match you to a property you love.

Identifying the top luxury real estate companies in Palm Beach is easy. Finding one that meets your expectations and needs is another story. Follow this criteria, though, and you will be well on your way to finding your dream home while working with a dream broker.
