Client Insights

Approachability & Communication Skills

An important insight from client feedback shows that while many traits define a great
real estate agent, one stands above the rest. 
 


Clients value approachability and communication skills more than anything else.
 


In 2025, 21% of homebuyers were first-time buyers.
 


When purchasing your first home, having an agent you feel comfortable asking questions
makes all the difference — as does their ability to clearly communicate the answers.

Knowledge & Market Expertise

The second most valued attribute reported in client feedback is an agent’s
knowledgeability and local market expertise.


Clients consistently agree that the value of a knowledgeable agent cannot be overstated.



A true local expert has a better pulse on the market, which can lead to more precise
pricing and a faster sale when that’s the goal.



On the buyer’s side, expertise helps you make the right offer—strong enough to win,
while avoiding overpaying.



In short, knowledge is power.



It helps clients make informed decisions and protects their legal and financial interests.
