How to Interview Charlotte Real Estate Agents

Seller AwarenessChoosing a professional real estate agent can be a very imposing task.  This person is responsible for finding your new home or selling your home, guiding you through the home inspection process and negotiating a good price and terms.  These are important tasks that should be taken seriously.  That’s why finding a skilled real estate agent is key to a successful real estate transaction. 
Here are several tips for interviewing Charlotte real estate agents:

  • Ask all agents that you interview, the same questions so you can compare their answers and ability to communicate.  Write out your questions so you don’t forget any, and take notes during the interviews.  You think you’ll remember what they say, but the specifics will begin to blur as you interview the second and third agent.

  • Ask the Charlotte real estate agents how long they've been in business and how many homes they’ve helped people buy and sell during the last year.  An agent with experience is a very valuable asset but, with the current fluctuations in real estate, an agent with recent experience is even more valuable.   Also ask how long they've been helping people buy and sell homes in the area in which you want to live.  You want a real estate agent who is truly an expert on that neighborhood.

  • Interview your agentGet at least three references of past clients from each of the Charlotte real estate agents.  Then follow up with those references.  Ask a variety of questions such as:
*What was it like to work with the agent? 
*Would you work with him or her again?   
*How knowledgeable was the agent?
*What was the best thing about working with the agent?

If you’re looking for a professional real estate agent, I’d be honored to be interviewed for the job.  Call me or email me to schedule an interview.
