Some one that listens to you and what you are looking for!
A good agent will find out what your goals are with this home purchase, are you going to live and raise a family here for a long time? Are you going to buy and then sell in a couple of years? These basic questions will help the agent and yourself purchase wisely.
Keeping your best interest and educating you with every step of the home buying process. You should feel comfortable and trust your agent, trust your instincts.
A good agent will provide you with information on the properties, comparables, and should set you up on a search. These are the basics, most agents go above and beyond this. Ask the agent if they have a good network of people they can refer, if you need a loan, inspection etc.
Even thought there are several people and companies involved in a Real Estate Transaction, YOUR AGENT, should be constantly managing the parties to ensure a smooth transaction and closing.
If your just starting to look for an agent , ask your friends and family if they can refer an agent to you. Referrals are always a good way to go. You can also look up agents on the Department of Real Estate (DRE) website http://www.dre.ca.gov/ .
Find out if the agent or their company is a member of the Better Business Bureau (BBB) http://www.bbb.org/us/list-all-bbb-locations/ .
Ask them a few basic questions:
- How long have you been an agent?
- Do you have a specialty?
- Why did you become an agent?
If your purchasing a home for the first time it should be a pleasant and fun experience. The relationship you have with your agent should allow you to ask any questions/concerns comfortably and with confidence. Remember this is your home purchase, make sure your happy with your agent!

Temecula has a perfect climate for beautiful hot-air ballooning adventures, is well known for its championship golf courses, and finally its award-winning wineries around 3,000 acres of amazing wine country, but that's just the beginning. Also, located in the heart of Temecula is the Old Town district which blends historic buildings with over 640 antique dealers, unique shopping, and restaurants. In Old Town Temecula, you can find many special events including car shows, semi-annual Rod Runs, Western Days, and summer weekend entertainment. Furthermore, every Saturday Temecula has their popular Farmer's Market which offers tons of fresh produce, flowers, and crafts. Temecula Valley International Jazz Festival is in the Southern California Wine Country, and is a combination of "free" and "ticketed" events, which are held at various locations throughout the city. Though Temecula has wine country and golf courses it’s not a small town. Temecula has grown very quickly and has a lot to offer, including a vast variety of shopping.
The name Temecula comes from the Luiseño Indian word "Temecunga" – "temet" meaning "sun" and "-ngna" which means "place of". The meaning of "Temecula" has been translated into several different versions over the years. The most popular being, "Where the sun breaks through the mist". When ranchos were being passed into private ownership it brought the romantic era of rancheros and vaqueros into full bloom. Of course this era was short lived, but nowhere in California did its aura last longer than in the Temecula Valley.
