Drawing up contractsThis is also as important as the first point, because if anything goes wrong on paper, it may lead to dire consequences in the form of contract breaches, lawsuits etc. The contract has to be drawn up in such a way that both the seller and buyer are clear about what is to be offered and received. It is also mandatory that you have a second party review the contracts, to make sure that everything that was discussed is actually what has been put on paper, before anyone attaches their signature.

There are many top real estate agents in Federal Way that are more than capable of doing this job, but it must be clear that even with those points listed, experience in the field is also a definite plus.
