First of all, you have
to find out the agents who are handling home deals in your locality. Get
feedback about them from friends and relatives and also read their online
reviews. Meet and ask question from these agents or interview at least 4 or 5
agents before you take any decision. In this blog, we are giving some helpful
tips for selecting a Real Estate Agent.
Talk with recent Clients - Ask your agent to provide a contact list of clients
and what they have sold in past years or recently. You can also ask from them
if anyone had a bad experience or was disappointed. Do contact few such clients
and know their experience.
Market Research
- A broker should be able to speak about their market with clients. They should
know about schools, transport facilities, hospitals, sports and list of
potential buyers or sellers in your area. If they are not able to give you
educated and thoughtful answers, then you need to keep looking for another
knowledgeable agent.
Browse Current Listings - Check out home listings of your area online and
look how closely these match with the type of home you want to sell or buy.
Online Reviews & Licensing: - Research how long the agents that you have
shortlisted have been working and how popular they are in the real estate
market. You can also search for various complaints about these agents. You can also review their (agents) online
presence through yelp and other websites. Your agents name should be mentioned
on the website among the licensed agents in the area. Agents having some awards
or commendations will be a plus point.

for selecting a good real estate agent. Hope you found this blog informative
