However, maybe the first list they should make would consist of the skills they want their real estate agent to have.<br /><br />The Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers identifies what buyers want most from their agents and as you'd expect, help with finding the right home was ranked highest most often. While it is important, it may not be the most unique of the desired area of expertise.<br /><br />Since an owner's cost of housing is dependent on the price paid for the home and financing, a real estate professional skilled in these specialized areas can be invaluable in finding the "right" home.
