National Association of Realtors® Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers of 2007 Shows honesty is still number one priority in choosing Real Estate Agent for Buyers
What has your Ann Arbor Real Estate experience been like?
NAR mailed an eight-page questionnaire in August 2007 to a national sample of 150,000 home buyers and sellers who purchased their homes between July 2006 and June 2007, according to county records. It generated 9,966 usable responses; the adjusted response rate was 6.9 percent. All information is characteristic of the 12-month period ending in June 2007 with the exception of income data, which are for 2006. Due to rounding and omissions for space, percentage distributions for some findings may not add up to 100 percent.
According to the survey, the most important factors in choosing an agent for buyers are honesty and integrity, followed by the agent’s reputation. Other important qualities buyers value in an agent include knowledge of the purchase process and responsiveness. For sellers, the most important factor in choosing an agent is reputation, followed by honesty and trustworthiness.
