I’m going to tell something that may (or may not) shock you - Huntsville real estate agents are a dime a dozen.  No, no, really.  However (and this is a big “but”), great agents are few and far between.  Does that mean the others are out to scam the unwary buyer and seller?  Not at all. 

So what’s the difference?  One of the biggest differences is in what they know.  A great agent knows what’s going on in their chosen city and throughout the neighborhoods.  They do their homework and are seldom surprised by rising trends.  

What kind of homework?  I’m glad you asked! 

1.  Keeping an eye on local pricing.  Huntsville real estate agents have to pay attention to the prices in their area.  Are they high?  Are they low?  Are they steady?  They have to know so they have an idea of which houses are priced at “fair” market value and which are overpriced or underpriced. 

2.  Knowing what’s up-and-coming.  Agents have to stay aware of new infrastructure possibilities.  For instance, there may be plans for a new shopping center to be built.  That shopping center will help the community grow, and could become an attractive addition for homebuyers in the area.
