The Competitive Edge: Why Your Agent’s Communication Style Matters in Chandler & Ahwatukee

Written by Kip Wilkins, REALTOR | Feb 25, 2026 10:54:38 PM

In the fast-moving Chandler market, seconds count. Discover why "proactive communication" is the most important criteria when interviewing a Real Estate Agent to help you buy or sell.

In the East Valley, the market doesn't wait. Whether you’re eyeing a home in the Ahwatukee Foothills or selling a property near the Price Corridor, the speed and clarity of information are your greatest competitive advantages.

But here is a truth many homeowners miss: A real estate transaction is only as stress-free as the communication behind it. When you sit down to interview an agent to represent your interests, don't just look at their past sales. Look at their communication systems. If an agent can't manage your expectations during the interview, they won't be able to manage them during a high-stakes negotiation.

Ask These 3 Critical Questions When Interviewing Your Next Agent:

  1. "How often will I hear from you if there is no news?" In a competitive market, silence can be nerve-wracking. You need an agent who provides "status checks" regardless of whether a milestone has been hit. Proactive updates prove your agent is paying attention so you don’t have to.
  2. "How do you handle the 'Jargon'?" Real estate contracts are complex. You need an agent who brings clarity, not confusion. True authority comes from making the complex simple, ensuring you feel empowered—not overwhelmed—by the details.
  3. "What is your process for closing the loop?" Reliability is the currency of trust. If an agent says they will follow up by 5:00 PM, does the email arrive? Closing communication loops is a habit that separates the professionals from the amateurs.

In our community, a referral isn't just a lead—it’s a neighbor. I pride myself on clear, consistent updates so you never have to wonder where your deal stands.
