A real estate agent is responsible for assisting clients in buying, selling, and renting properties. They conduct market research to determine property values, negotiate contracts, and draft purchase agreements. They also coordinate with lenders, home inspectors, and appraisers to ensure a smooth transaction. A real estate agent must possess strong interpersonal skills, as they interact with clients, other agents, and professionals throughout the buying/selling process. Successful agents possess in-depth knowledge of the local real estate market, stay updated on industry trends, and effectively market properties to potential buyers.
