Total competence. Sorry, it wasn't one of your choices but feel if the agent is competent then most of the other good qualities will follow.

Evelyn Johnston - I go over mutual expectations when I meet my potential clients first. And ask them this question.

The answer is -- 1. TRUST 2. TRANSPARENCY and 3. HONEST DEALING.

And yes, rarely pops up is Local Knowledge.

Sometimes I wonder we do all marketing with keywords and SEO - is it worth spending time?

You are asking real estate agents what they want in a real estate agent.

You understand each response will be what that agent thinks they offer.

As a real estate agent, what I want most from the other agent is competancy.

The cosumer wants is an agent that offers solutions, choice and assurance.

I do not think you can seperate them. If you show your knowledge then your clients will learn to trust you and if they ask your opinion and speak truthfully they will see you as being honest.
