• Hiring the Cheapest Realtor

• Most of us tend to go for the cheapest Toronto
  realtor when choosing to buy a home. However, it
  is considered wiser to go with the best realtor
  rather than the one who offers real estate
  services for the lowest costs. This way, you will
  be assured of working with a professional who is
  willing to justify the cost by facilitating great
  deals.

• Hiring the Realtor who Sold the Most Homes

• This is another loophole we tend to fall into
  when it comes to choosing a real estate agent in
  Toronto. Rather than choosing the highest selling
  realtor in the market, you need to go with the
  most effective one in terms of marketing the
  property, negotiating the deal, and ensuring a
  smooth flow of communication between both parties
  involved.

• Real Estate Agent

• Hiring a Friend or Family Member who is into Real
  Estate

• It can turn out to be one of the greatest
  mistakes when hiring a real estate agent. It is
  better to keep business relationships and
  personal relationships separate. You may be
  tempted to hire that cousin who is into real
  estate and is even a licensed commercial real
  estate agent in Toronto. Before doing so,
  consider the fact that real estate dealings do
  not always end on a high note. What would happen
  if a conflict arises during the deal? It would
  most probably strain the personal relationship
  between yourself and your cousin permanently.
  Therefore, it is wise to keep friends and family
  members out of your business decisions unless you
  are positive about maintaining a cordial
  relationship with the involved person should any
  issue arise during the deal.

• Hiring any Realtor Because all Realtors are the
  Same

• This is not true. There are realtors out there
  who hardly know a thing about the business but
  claim to know everything. Then there are realtors
  who actually take the necessary steps to educate
  themselves about everything there is to know
  about real estate on a regular basis. These
  realtors are also the ones who abide by the laws
  and the code of ethics as proposed by a state or
  national real estate association. In addition to
  the above, different realtors may have different
  specialties so its important to explore your
  options and decide on a real estate agent thats
  right for you. You will be better off choosing a
  reputable and trustworthy realtor in this case.
