Choosing an Agent: PART ONE

Choosing an agent PART 1
While there are several important aspects to consider when hiring an agent,
the most important thing you should keep in mind while searching for one
is, you need to LIKE them. You need to connect withh your REALTOR ®.
You are going to be spending a good amount of time with your REALTOR ®
so it’s important to establish a good and friendly working relationship.
You need someone who understands and connects with you so you’re not
unintentionally fighting each other to get you into your new home.
You and your perspective REALTOR ® should be interviewing each other.
They should be asking you questions, and you need to ask them questions
as well. You need to ascertain if:
  1. They have any experience/What are their Credentials
It’s not a deal breaker if they don’t have a ton of experience; being new
doesn’t mean they won’t be good. However, you should know either way.
Ask questions like, “how many clients do you/have you had?” Ask for a
resume and credentials “Can I see your references?” or “Do you have
references or previous clients we can contact?”. You will also need to
know whether or not if they’re a REALTOR ® (Visit the Article

  1. Do they have time for you?
This brings us back to the question “how many clients do you have/usually
have at once?” This again is where new can be better. Does this agent really
have any time to devote to you?
  1. What area do you work in?
You want an agent who is familiar with areas and communities you're looking
to move to.  You want someone who is familiar with the local market without
being spread out too far too keep up with the local area. What is that person's
territory?
