From the perspective of a home buyer prior to being a Realtor, it is extremely important to find a realtor that has some knowledge of the construction process. When viewing properties most home buyers have questions about home damage or the building process. The standard Realtor is not licensed, certified and trained in construction. The Realtor training does not go over home defects. The realtor should also have a well written website and videos showing that knowledge. Purchasing a home though a mystery surprise grab bag agent is not a smart choice.
