St Louis Real Estate Search

Realtor Education & Designations

The quality of real estate representation is not the same for all agents. Determining the skill set of each agent can be made by reading client reviews, personal interviews, transaction volume and their education. As with most professions, Real Estate licensees in Missouri are required to fulfill 12 hours of annual continuing education. Often times, the quality of education varies, and the best educational opportunities are often are offered as part of a designation course.

Realtors that hold specific designations occasionally include their designation initials after their name on business cards and other promotional materials.

Finding the best St Louis real estate deals takes hard work, experience and luck. The chances of a home buyer finding a home for sale, recognizing the value, and negotiating all phases of the contract without a real estate professional would be tough.

Having enough time to search, having the real estate resources to find and recognize the value, and the network of other professionals to pull the deal together are things that Realtors develop and maintain over years of experience and hard work.

A buyer being able to "fall into" position to get the best price and other terms would be a feat.

The Premier Team recognizes this and works hard to be a top resource for St Louis home buyers.

Selling a home is equally difficult. After years of home selling experience, the Premier Team has worked with hundreds of buyers and has recieved the buyer feedback of thousands more.

We bring this knowledge into every listing appointment to share with St Louis home sellers.

Home selling also takes daily marketing to place homes in front of home buyers and other buyer's agents to have the most impact. A "For Sale" sign in the yard and an add in Sundays paper for a "by owner" sale rarely works, and getting the best price is virtually impossible. Most often, a St Louis real estate professional is needed.
