1. Priorities; phases; planning; presentations; presenting: If an agent does not give an effective listing presentation, and effectively listens to the priorities of a specific homeowner, he doesn’t deserve to be hired to represent that property!

3. Attitude; aptitude; attention; articulate: Beginning with a positive, can – do, attitude, and, expanding the limitations of one’s self – imposed, comfort zone, you should hire someone, who pays keen attention, to the options and alternatives, in order to provide the finest, possible, representation! This means, hire someone with the well – developed, relevant aptitude, and skill – set, to make a meaningful difference, in a positive way! Great agents must be ready, willing, and able, to clearly articulate, to the clients, and prospective buyers (and other agents), why, this specific property, is a great option, etc!
