Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Realtor
The right agent makes a real difference. These questions can help you find someone whose approach fits you.
How will we communicate?
Ask how and how often you'll hear from them, and who your main point of contact will be. Clear expectations prevent frustration later.
What does your process look like?
A good agent can walk you through each stage — from search or listing prep all the way to closing — in plain language.
How do you approach pricing and negotiation?
Understanding how an agent thinks about market data and strategy tells you a lot about how they'll represent you.
