Every real estate transaction is a new playing field. Whether flipping a house this year or investing for the long term, you want to guarantee a great outcome at every step. From making an offer to listing and pricing, anything less than a home run could compromise your wallet—and your future.
The key to a seamless transaction lies squarely at the feet of your chosen real estate agent. Partner with a professional with the necessary know-how and your needs can be covered stress-free. Get it wrong, and you might end up stuck with a property that does not serve your best interest.
Gregory Fanning has rapidly become known for achieving landmark results daily. At The Property Pros Team At eXp Realty in New York, he leads the agency as its top real estate agent while benefiting from his parent company’s undeniable global credentials. Now, the Silver Medallion Award Winner, Rising Star, and Rookie of the Year shares five things he’s learned about getting the perfect deal:
While there’s always merit in going for a trusted name, never neglect the individual you’ll be working with. When it comes time to close, they’re the person you’ll rely on to ensure your interests shape the deal.
“It is not about the agency but rather the agent,” Gregory explains. “Select a buyer’s or seller’s agent you can talk to like a best friend. Then, when hard discussions come up, it is easier to make business decisions.”
Gregory’s values are innovative yet wholly centered around his clients’ success. He’s unconventionally honest in his communication, providing the unadulterated truth in every transaction. By going above and beyond to mastermind the process, Gregory ensures his clients get precisely the property and the deal they expect, whether he’s acting as a buyer’s agent or a seller’s agent.
Time is of the essence in real estate. Anything that might halt your progress—such as financial uncertainty—must be resolved before embarking on your journey.
“Follow the rules!” Gregory, who has been The Property Pros Team At eXp Realty’s Top Real Estate Agent for the last three years, cautions. “Have pre-approval for purchase of a property ready before looking for homes. It is a New York state regulation but also allows you to immediately submit a purchase offer should it be the right home for you.”
“Sellers need to be realistic in the pricing of homes and time frame for purchase,” the dual buyer’s and seller’s agent explains. “Just because your friend had a bidding war, it doesn’t correlate to your own home. Look at it from the buyer’s point of view, not your biased vision.”
Gregory Fanning knows his clients’ expectations are high, especially if they are investing in a rental property or selling for a profit. As a buyer’s agent, he advocates for each client’s interests, dedicating himself to achieving their aims. Likewise, as a seller’s agent, he strives to sell quickly and for current market value to maximize the moment.
“Real estate is the largest investment in your life besides having a family,” Gregory says. “Make sure it is the right home, and don’t allow any agent to be pushy and force you into a purchase. There are no receipts; you can’t try it out for a 30-day home trial. Once you close, it is yours!”
Making sure you have the best real estate agent in New York on your side is essential for a purchase that will grant you lasting prosperity. The Property Pros Team is part of eXp Realty, which was voted one of the best agencies to work for and the fastest-growing international real estate company. So, when choosing one of its buyer’s or seller’s agents, you can be sure that your satisfaction precedes any other interests.
You likely don’t associate buying or selling a property with a good time. But the occasion is momentous, and the potential is tantalizing. Partnering with the right agent will help you realize real estate’s sunny side.
“Most importantly, have fun with your real estate transaction,” Gregory concludes. “There will be times when stress and frustration will creep in! It is a long 60 days to close, so relax and enjoy the process.”
That sense of exceeding expectations against the odds permeates Gregory Fanning’s advice and achievements. At The Property Pros Team At eXp Realty, he is forging a future full of hope and gratification for himself and his clients. In your next investment or sale, follow his tips, and real estate success could be yours.
