Key Takeaways:
“I think when it comes to finding a good realtor, there are different types. One, like if you’re looking specifically for buying, then you want a realtor who knows how to do analysis quite well. They know their numbers, they know their economic fundamentals, they know which areas are great and which are not, and then they must have a high level of customer service.” – Gary Wong
One step in looking for a good realtor: “I would ask for referrals, but also I would interview them and then I would do my own due diligence. I find that realtors who are quite well-branded online, it shows me that they take pride in what they do and that they’re not just helping their friends buy or sell real estate. They actually are doing this long-term. They give off a good first impression if they have good marketing, though it doesn’t guarantee that they’re going to be a great realtor for you.” – Gary Wong
“Well, I use my book as my business card in real estate. A lot of people just hand out their business cards and you and I know that business cards often get thrown away. So, Dan was telling me, Gary, when you use your book, it gives you the authority status. People aren’t going to throw away your book, so use your book as an authority, like a business card.” – Gary Wong
