Best  Livonia real estate agents

What does a real estate agent really do for you?

Buying a Livonia home is one of the biggest financial business decisions you will make in your life.  A good real estate agent will educate their clients about current Livonia market conditions, provide them with information to make a sound decision, guide them through each step of the process explaining possible scenarios, and making referrals to other professionals, such as home inspectors and contractors. A realtors role depend on who they're representing in a real estate transaction.

  • A buyers agent helps buyers find and shop listed homes, make competitive offers and negotiate with sellers.

  • A listing agent helps sellers price, list and market their homes, and negotiate with buyers.

How to find and interview a good real estate agent in your area

 Look up the local agents' websites and online profiles, read about their specialties and experience, and check out customer reviews.

Choose at least three agents to interview and dig into specifics about how they would work with you.

What buyers and sellers should ask real estate agents

Here are the some key things to find out, whether you're buying or selling a Livonia home or any home in SE Michigan.

Will the agent represent me and my interests?

You may think a Wayne County real estate agent you choose will represent only your interests. You do not want an agent that is out to line their pockets or their companies pockets.  If a Livonia agent is a pressure agent from the beginning then they are going to pressure you when it comes to making a decision about accepting an offer or about picking a house quickly.  You want a no or low pressure agent.  You do not want an agent that will say "well I showed you five houses which one do you like the best?"  It should not matter whether you find a house after looking a 5 houses or 50 houses.  Low pressure is best

What experience and training does the agent have?

Experience matters.  How long has the real estate agent been working with clients, and what training or recognition does the agent have? Look for an realtor with a good track record of serving clients like you. An agent with 5 or more years  selling 25 homes or more a year is good.  You do not want to hire a first year agent or an agent that barely does any business.   

Buying a home

Will the real estate agent or some assistant work with me?

If you call a Livonia real estate agent do they have a team?  Real estate agents sometimes have assistants working for them on a team. Will you work more with the agent or are you going to be shuffled off to a less experienced realtor or to some assistant? Working with the actual realtor you called is what you want.

How much will you pay the agent?

Usually, the seller pays the real estate commission, which the listing agent splits with the buyer's agent. So if you are buying a house you will not be paying your agent any commission.  If you are listing your Livonia home or any metro Detroit home you should also consider how much a realtor is going to charge you.  You can save thousands of dollars when hiring an agent that only charges 4%.  Hiring a realtor like that can save you $10,000 on a $500,000 house.  It's smart to hire a realtor that has low selling commissions when they have the experience and track record of getting homes sold. 

I fit all these criterias.  Whether you are buying or selling a home in Livonia you will be glad you called me.

Here are some 5 star testimonials from past clients I have helped buy a home or sell a home.

Russ helped sell my home within a few weeks of it being on the market. Not only was he able to sell it quick he was able to get the amount that I was asking. Russ also helped me purchase my new home. He met with us to review our wants and needs. And by the evening he was send us home to rank and view on his website. By the following day he had already schedule home viewing based off your ranking. We viewed several homes. Although we were picky Russ always remained professional and responsive.  After a few week of this Russ call me one day and said he had a home he would like us to visit. We did and I'm proud to say that we purchased that home and have been living in there happily since August. I have and will continue to refer Russ to my friends and family.

Russ is a excellent realtor and professional in every way.  He managed the sale of our house from preparing it to look as good as possible before any showings to the close.  He also recommended a handyman who completed all of the projects required at a very resonable cost.  He also managed all of the buyers concerns throughout the process so that the closing was on time and went very smoothly.

I highly recommend Russ to anyone making a real estate transaction.

Never selling a home before, I needed help with the process. Russ was always available to help with any questions or concerns I had.
Gave great suggestions on how to help sell the house and kept reassuring me the process would go well.
He was right in less than a week I had 5 offers and had sold the house.
I would recommend Russ to anyone buying or selling a home, he is very personable and professional from beginning to end.

Russ was an awesome realtor.  My parents referred him to me.  He had helped them buy and sell a house several years ago.  Russ sold my house over listing price in 8 days!  He took the time to tell me how to get the house ready for sale and it really worked.  Then he helped me find a house that was perfect for me! I would recommend him highly to anybody!

Russ recently helped me purchase a home, this was my first time and i was extremely nervous. I was nervous i would get a realtor that didn't really work hard to get me the best deal possible. that was not the case with Russ, he tried and did everything he could and used every bit of his knowledge to get me a deal on a home i was satisfied and comfortable with. I couldn't have asked for a better realtor for my first time buying a home and i'm so glad my friend refereed me to him. I also know that he help my friend and his wife sell their home in order to purchase another better fitting to their needs now that they have a kid and one on the way. He was great with them and they swore by his knowledge and experience that i would be just as happy as they were working with him. The best choice i made was listening to hem and working with Russ as my realtor. I totally recommend him to anyone in any situation looking to buy or sell a home!

Russ helped me sell my home in Wixom in under 10 days.  He came through my house prior to listing it and told me what I should do to make the home appear spacious and uncluttered.  It was amazing what taking out a few pieces of furniture and removing the clutter makes.  He then was very patient with me as I wanted a specific type of home in downtown Milford.  It took us 6 months but I got the home I wanted.  I would highly recommend Russ to anybody!

-Bob R.
