Who is the Best Real Estate Agent in Highland Park, CA?

What are the qualities that make up being the Best Real Estate Agent in Highland Park?
They are professional and they protect their brand.
Our industry is plagued with a ton of agents with very little sales volume backed by egos that don’t fit the front door. You’ll notice that the best of the best are very humble with good bedside manners. They aren’t flashy and can assume the authoritative position when necessary.

These agents are always professional-no matter the circumstances. Even if we’re having a bad day personally, or if a child is sick-we know how to flip the switch when clients call up. It’s part of the business. We treat every call as if it’s a client, a potential client, a colleague, or a colleague getting information about one of our listings. It’s just as important that we are professional and courteous to our agent peers-especially when they are working to help us sell a home to one of their buyers.
They listen more than they talk.
You can always spot the best of the best versus an amateur. The amateur tends to talk over the client and to over-sell themselves and their services. The pros have a silent confidence about what they do and/or what they are about to undertake. More importantly, they study the scenario. Every situation is different and without fully understanding the dynamics, there’s no way to properly offer solutions.
It has been said that we have two ears and one mouth and that we should use it in that proportion.
They give immediate solutions and feedback on the results.
