Florida Agent Link plays a crucial role in helping someone select a top 5% local real estate expert by acting as an informed, neutral party who bridges the gap between the client and potential agents. Here’s how the liaison can provide guidance during the selection process:

​

1. We assess Your Needs

• Clarify goals (e.g., buying, selling, investing).

• Identify preferred neighborhoods, price range, timeline, and property type.

• Determine whether the client values negotiation skills, marketing strategies, local knowledge, or personal rapport most.
   

2. We Pre-Screen Agents

• Research agents using reliable sources like MLS performance data, Zillow/Redfin rankings, or RealTrends to identify top performers (those in the top 5% usually close significantly more transactions than the average agent).

• Evaluate certifications, years of experience, and client testimonials.

• Cross-reference online reviews with verified transaction data.
   

3. We Conduct Initial Outreach

• Reach out to selected agents on the client’s behalf.

• Ask targeted questions: recent experience in the client's market, typical price points handled, strategy outlines, and client service approach.
   

4. We Facilitate Interviews

• Arrange and attend (or help prepare for) interviews between the client and 2–3 shortlisted agents.

• Guide the client on key evaluation criteria, such as communication style, marketing strategy, responsiveness, and transparency.
   

5. We Compare and Recommend

• Create a comparative summary (like a scorecard or matrix) highlighting strengths, weaknesses, and client-agent compatibility.

• Offer a professional recommendation based on performance, local expertise, and client priorities.
   

6. We Ensure Accountability

• Stay involved after the selection to monitor the agent’s performance and help the client navigate any issues that arise.

• Provide guidance on contracts, timelines, and expectations.
