Having the right buyer’s agent can save you money, stress, and a ton of time.
Get clear on what right means for you
Before you talk to anyone, decide on your area focus, property type, your style, and your budget reality.
Look for local specialists, not generalists
You want someone who works daily in the exact neighborhoods you’re targeting, knows recent sold prices, not just listing prices, and can tell you why a house didn’t sell or why one went over asking. Interview at least 2–3 agents. It’s a red flag if they tell you they work all over the state of Florida.
Check their track record (Reviews & Referrals)
Talk to people you know who bought in Ocala recently and see who they recommend. Local online forums and reviews can spotlight agents who are responsive, honest, and effective.
Pay attention to how they communicate.
You’ll be working closely together, and chemistry counts!
The right agent will educate you, not rush you.
