Eight Important Questions To Ask Your Agent

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:

  • 1. Why did you become a real estate agent?

  • 2. Why should I work with you?

  • 3. What do you do better than other real estate agents?

  • 4. What process will you use to help me find the right home for my particular wants and needs?

  • 5. What are the most common things that go wrong in a transaction and how would you handle them?

  • 6. What are some mistakes that you think people make when buying their first home?

  • 7. What other professionals do you suggest we work with and what are their credentials?

  • 8. Can you provide me with references or testimonials from past clients?
