 Proactive approach: The agent shouldn’t wait for you to call but should contact you with any leads for properties in your target area. A tech-savvy agent can enter your contact information into an automated system that notifies you whenever a property meeting your criteria becomes available.

 Eagerness to show houses: The agent should be willing to show you many houses before arriving at the right one.

 Availability on short notice: If you see a For Sale sign in someone’s yard and want to see the house, you should be able to quickly contact your agent to set an appointment for viewing the house at a convenient time for you. The agent should have a cellphone number, a home number, and an email address; check for messages regularly; and respond promptly to text and voicemail messages. If your agent is traveling out of town, they should notify you of the dates and line up someone to field your calls.

 Comfort with presenting low-ball offers: An agent who cringes at offering a price well below market value, is not the agent for you. The agent should be willing and able to pitch one or more lowball offers with a poker face.
