Personal Real Estate Agent for Buyers & Sellers | Hume Real Estate

Much like having a financial planner, lawyer, or mortgage broker, it’s never too early to start working with a personal real estate agent—whether you’re planning to buy or sell a home. Many buyers begin by browsing listings, attending open houses, or calling the number on a “For Sale” sign, while sellers may start by researching home values or watching the local market. While it’s possible to navigate these steps on your own, statistics consistently show that clients achieve better results when working with an experienced local real estate agent.

For buyers, a dedicated real estate agent provides market insight, pricing guidance, and access to opportunities that help you secure the right home at the right price. For sellers, a skilled agent ensures your home is priced correctly, marketed effectively, and positioned to attract qualified buyers. Even if you’re not quite ready to make a move, working with a trusted real estate agent for buyers and sellers allows us to keep you informed about market trends, timing strategies, and next steps—so you can make confident decisions when the time is right.

Your Real Estate Agent Works for You

A real estate agent, especially one who knows the Hamilton, Niagara and GTA market well (like we do), can help you find and buy your ideal home (or investment property), quickly, and make the entire process go smoothly for you. During a viewing, your real estate agent will give you the inside scoop on that property, so you know the full story. Your real estate agent will also point out desirable features, and potential “issues”, that you might otherwise miss.

When it comes time to make an offer, your real estate agent will present and negotiate it on your behalf. If you don’t have your own real estate agent, you would have to deal directly with the seller’s agent, who is legally obliged to work in the seller’s best interests – not yours.

Bottom line: Your own personal real estate agent is there for you, every step of the way. At least, that’s how we work with our clients. Give us a call to see how we can make your dreams a reality.

What to Look for in a Real Estate Agent

When buying a home, you want a real estate agent who…

• Takes the time to understand your needs and goals, so you have a true partner in your home buying journey.
• Explains everything clearly and answers your questions, so you’re never in the dark.
• Has expertise and a track record of success in the local market.
• Knows how to find great properties in your price range.
• Will alert you to new listings, quickly, so you get the jump on those opportunities.
• Will advise you on the best price to offer for the home you want.
• Will prepare and present the offer, and skillfully negotiate such things as price, conditions, closing dates, etc. so you get the best deal.
• Will save you potentially thousands of dollars by ensuring you don’t overpay for the property you want.
• Will recommend reputable home inspectors, movers and other professionals you may need.

Not every real estate agent offers all of these services. Our clients say that we do. They also tell us how much they appreciate our professionalism, expertise and accessibility.
