very prevalent in our area. The $$$

Choosing a
Million $ Price Range Agent
Criteria:
(1) Experience, Experience, Experience
If you are interested in finding a home in the million $ plus price range, your agent's level of experience and knowledge becomes especially important. The complexities of homes usually increases as the prices get higher and higher.
Agents need to be knowledgeable of many areas of potential problems and alert Buyers to the importance of contacting experts to deal with the myriad of complexities with these types of properties. Typical areas that might need investigation would be earth movement history, soils conditions, drainage, retaining walls, foundations, electrical systems, heating systems, alarms, irrigation systems, pool-spa systems, roofs, lot line issues, private roads, etc. Choose your agent very carefully in this price range. First requirement: LOTS of experience in the real estate business and sales history in the million plus price range.
