What does an agent do?
Real estate agents help people buy, sell, and invest in property. First-time homebuyers are in a significant transition in their lives, and they depend on their agent to make the transaction seamless and enjoyable. Top-producing agents are real estate experts for their clients. They put the needs of their clients first and help them every step of the way. Agents own their own small business and have control of their marketing, time, and growth.
