When it is time for your Killeen home purchase, the first thing you will need to do is contact a Killeen REALTOR.  There are several ways to find a Killeen REALTOR.  By far, the best way is through a personal referral from a friend or family member who has used that REALTOR.

If you do not have a friend or family member that can refer a Killeen REALTOR to purchase a home, then there are some other avenues to consider.  One thing you will want to consider is experience.  Experience as used here does not mean the number of years in business but rather experience in successfully marketing and selling a listing or the ability to help the buyer client locate, negotiate and successfully acquire a home. Familiarity with the local real estate market is also important when choosing a Killeen REALTOR.  According to the National Association of Realtors website the following questions can help evaluate your choice of Killeen REALTOR:

• Does your prospective agent have a license in good standing?  You can check the status of a real estate licensee in Texas at www.trec.state.tx.us.
• Is the agent a REALTOR (a member of the National Association of Realtors)?  A REALTOR is bound to the REALTOR Code of Ethics.
• Does the agent subscribe to the LOCAL multiple listing service?
• Is real estate their full time career?  Daily involvement in the Killeen real estate market will add to your Killeen REALTOR's proficiency.
• Does the agent represent the buyer, the seller, or both as an intermediary?
• How will the agent help you accomplish your real estate goals?

By following these guidelines, asking the appropriate questions and doing your due diligence you can have a great real estate transaction.  Armed with this information you should be prepared to find the right Killeen REALTOR for you, and I am the best real estate agent for you.
