Some Important Questions To Ask Before Hiring a Real Estate Agent

by Tom Royce on August 23, 2006


Familybuyhouse_smallSo it is time to get a real estate agent to sell your home or help you buy a new home. Did you know that there are  more  real estate agents today than ever before? And did you know that most of these real estate agents are very new to the  game and may not be as sophisticated and qualified to sell your home as other agents?

Marketwatch has put together a primer asking some key questions on how to find the real estate agent that will work the best for you and your family in your real estate transaction. Asking some if not all of these questions can potentially save you a great deal of money, time, and aggravation.

  • How many homes in the neighborhood have you sold or helped buyers purchase in the past year?
  • For sellers, what will you do to market my home?
  • For buyers, what properties will you be showing me?
  • Is commission negotiable?
  • Is the chemistry there?
  • Who do you represent?
  • References, please?
