Buying or selling a home is a monumental transaction. For many, real estate is their biggest investment and most valuable asset. When you’ve made the decision to buy or sell a home in Park City, or anywhere for that matter, it’s critical that you work with a real estate professional who can offer the best possible results.
But how can you be sure that you’re working with the best? Sure, you can look at sales records, awards, and designations, but in our opinion, those things don’t mean that much if you don’t have the soft skills and experience to back them up.
What truly matters is how a real estate team works for you. So here are our top 5 signs that you’re working with the best Park City real estate team:
1. They Have a Wide Depth of Experience
In real estate, time in the market is everything. The more time you have spent working as a full-time real estate agent, the more experiences you can draw from. It’s simple math at this point. More experience means your agent has seen the highs and lows of the market, both the booms and the busts.
The fact that they are still working also shows they navigated those market fluctuations successfully, and in turn, can offer guidance to you no matter what is going on in the market.
More experience also means that they have worked with a wider scope of clients, assisting in a plethora of transactions for a variety of unique clients. Although we know that no two homes are the same, when an agent has ample experience, they can use past experiences to help ensure your unique situation is handled properly.
Additionally, a lot of experience also usually translates into a big pool of contacts. For example, here at CMFH, we’ve been active in the Park City market for over 30 years, and as a result, we have a massive database of buyers we can tap into when marketing homes for sale.

2. The Team is Strong
There are a lot of moving parts with any real estate transaction. There are even more moving parts in Park City sales since we are often helping clients buy or sell secondary properties or vacation residences. At any given time in your transaction, your agent will need to be a good salesperson, a keen negotiator, an expert marketer and content creator, a stager, a strategist, and administrator, and more.
It would be next to impossible for any single person to thrive at wearing all of those hats at once. That’s why the best Park City real estate teams work with an A-team of in-house professionals who collaborate and specialize in various aspects of your transaction. When the team is working together, you can rest assured that each part of your sale or purchase is being handled by the most qualified person for that particular task.
A diverse team is also important. Working with a collaborative real estate team that comes from diverse backgrounds means your buying or selling strategy is complete, with a fresh outlook that doesn’t discount or forget about different perspectives.

3. They Communicate Well
Some might say real estate is a ‘hurry up and wait’ business. There might be periods when we are waiting for confirmation about something. Or there might be periods when we have to act swiftly and decisively.
If your agent struggles to stay in touch with you and takes days to reply to messages or call you back, that should be a massive red flag.
At CMFH, we are proud of our communication style. We are always in contact with our clients, replying as soon as possible and keeping you abreast of every development in your transaction.
More than that, you should also consider how the agent communicates. For example, are they empathetic? Do they acknowledge your concerns? Do they explain things clearly and educate you on your options? You should never feel confused or pressured when working with a real estate agent. We’re here to provide you with clarity and guidance to make the best possible decision for you.

4. They Know the Area
A real estate agent should be deeply familiar with the area in which they operate. It’s one of the main benefits of working with a Park City real estate agent to begin with–you get insider information!
The real estate market can change vastly depending on things like time of year, neighborhood, property type, and more. Your agent should understand these nuances to help you find the exact right property when buying or maximize your sale when selling.

5. Their Reputation Speaks for Itself
Consider what other people are saying about the real estate team you choose to work with. Do they have a lot of positive Google reviews? Do they come recommended by friends and family? Can they connect you to real people who have worked with them in the past?
Ideally, you want to see numerous good reviews and potentially speak to some real past clients.
With that said, no business is immune to “negative” reviews, so it’s also important to see how the team replies to reviews and how they handle feedback publicly.
In addition to client feedback, you should also look for the team’s reputation within the community. Do they support local causes? Do they partner with esteemed businesses or participate in community events? If the team is prominent in the area, chances are, they have connections they can share with you, adding further value to your sale or purchase.
