What is a Good Agent?
Is a heavily-advertised real estate agent a good agent ? It will depend on whether most of the real estate agent’s clients were happy with him or her. It means that the majority of the agent’s clients said “yes, it was a good experience working with the agent.”
If an real estate agent sold only a modest number of houses, but with a high percentage of clients saying “yes,” then that real estate agent is good.
If the real estate agent sold a large volume of houses, but small percentage of his or her clients said “yes,” then the real estate agent is not that good.
GoodRealEstateAgents.Com works hard to confirm the true number of houses sold by an real estate agent through his or her broker (using official trade-record sheets, and possibly even income tax returns) to determine how many houses were sold in one particular period. We interview clients (whose phone numbers, internet addresses, etc. are independently obtained by GoodRealEstateAgents.com) in order to get a solid idea of how good a real estate agent is.

Is Dedicated
When an real estate agent is totally dedicated to his/her client’s, miracle could happen. From the Testimonial from Marc and Sylvie Parent, they told the readers that even in a tough real estate market in 1998 in Toronto, when other real estate agents were recommending substantially less asking prices, their real estate agent, Alec Leung, insisted on a higher price, and then sold the property for over the asking price, and the owners were still in shock at the time of writing that Testimonial.

Chu Liang Chow felt the same way. He witnessed every single step that his agent did for him in order to achieve the price he wanted. For that reason, he was most happy writing the Testimonial for his agent. See Testimonial
