I spoke with a seller recently who told me that he was not satisfied with his realtor. I asked him how he came to hire him. He said he called many agents and he was the first one to pick up the phone. This list will hopefully spare you the aggravation of hiring the wrong person to sell your house. 1) How many years have you been actively selling real estate? (Some agents may have been licensed for many years but never sold a house) It's not how long a person has been in the industry (3 comments)
