A successful real estate transaction involves four main pillars: the broker, the client, the listing, and the current market conditions. These four elements are tied together in myriad ways: The success of a listing can depend on how the broker markets the home. Market conditions can favor the buyer or the seller or even a particular type of home.
No matter what’s happening in the market and no matter what type of property, however, a top-notch broker is essential—whether you’re the home buyer or the seller. That’s why Barker Realty puts a high priority on the quality of our brokerage team.
What does it take to attract the highest level of real estate talent to our brokerage? We’ve got 10 excellent answers we fleshed out in our Top 10 Reasons to Join Barker Realty.
