It is quite a natural human tendency to doubt something or fear a possible event if you don't have much knowledge of what is to come. In relevance to a real estate transaction, it is quite ordinary for an individual to somehow doubt his or her real estate agent. Most would display such attitude due to the fear of making mistakes or even for the preservation of the property and the possible significant return.
However, when you find yourself in a real estate transaction, such things should not totally overcome your outlook and perception of the things around you, including the real estate agents. For in the very first place of it, it is their role to bring reliable information and perhaps be trusted for their expertise and experience in both selling and buying transactions. Though most them are known for using euphemisms in dealing with properties, as what bloomberg described, but still they are worth our trust.
Now the question is whether how do we know that such agent is worth your trust or trustworthy up to the very end. The simple answer is that we really can't determine unless things happen. However, there are some tell-tale signs regarding a trustworthy agent. In an ideal case, an agent should be encouraging, in sense he or she should be boosting your confidence by giving you correct and relevant information. With proper information that your agent will be providing, your confidence on your decision making will increase, and thus the reliability and perhaps trustworthiness of your agent. It is a two way process, which both you and your agent should do.
Speaking of reliability, action speaks louder than words. In the event that there would be some minor glitches due to unreliable and unreflected actions, you should be concern at all, no matter how small or insignificant the details are. It is through being keen and being reliable that you may be able to gauge to authenticity of a person's intention to help you. And such authentic intention is manifested through constant communication and commitment to see things through no matter what.
