It's no secret that by the time a transaction with your real estate agent is complete, they may know more about you than your closest friends and family. Your relationship with your agent requires serious financial transparency whether you are buying or selling real estate, as they need to know things like what you're pre-approved for and budget. Your agent understands the emotions you are going through, because they are there to be your support and get you through it. They will even be able to spot a house from miles away and think of you! Perhaps you are wanting to expand your family, but no one close to you knows that yet, but your agent does. In the long run, they can become a friend and someone you can always lean on in various circumstances. Besides, they want you to find that dream home or sell your first successful investment property as much as you do.

Here are a few reasons why it is beneficia...

How do you select the members of your team who are going to help you make your dream of owning a home a reality? What should you be looking for? How do you know if you've found the right agent or lender? The most important characteristic that you should be looking for in your agent is someone who is going to take the time to really educate you on the choices available to you and your ability to buy in today's market. As Dave Ramsey, the financial guru, advises:

"When getting help with money, whether it's insurance, real estate or investments, you should always look for someone with the heart of a teacher, not the heart of a salesman."
Do your research. Ask your friends and family for recommendations of professionals whom they have used in the past and have had good experiences with. Look for members of your team who will be honest and trustworthy; after all, you will be trusting them with helping you make one of the biggest financial decisi...

Real estate is the best industry to work in nationwide, according to the 2013 Top National Workplaces rankings by WorkplaceDynamics.

All of which led them to highly rank their workplaces." The survey polled 1 million employees from 872 companies. Rankings are based on employee responses to survey questions. In 2011 Ruhl&Ruhl was selected as one of the 2011 "Iowa Top Wo...
