Qualifications are important. However, finding a solid, professional agent means getting beyond the resume and into what makes an agent effective. Use the following questions as your starting point in hiring your licensed, professional real estate agent:
-
Why did you become a real estate agent?
-
Why should I work with you?
-
What do you do better than other real estate agents?
-
What process will you use to help me find the right home for my particular wants and needs?
-
What are the most common things that go wrong in a transaction and how would you handle them?
-
What are some mistakes that you think people make when buying their first home?
-
What other professionals do you suggest we work with and what are their credentials?
-
Can you provide me with references or testimonials from past clients?
