Choosing an agent to work with when buying or selling a home is one of the most important processes. Many people will open up the paper or Homefinders guide and pick based upon pictures or sizes of their ads. This is the wrong approach!
You wouldn’t go to a doctor because he has the biggest ad in the paper. You would ask around to see who other people use and get their opinions about the person. Real Estate is similar. You want to be comfortable with your real estate agent.
Ask your friends and family who they use. If you get a couple of different names, then do a Google search on the agents. Most agents these days have websites, Facebook and are on every website they can get their hands on. Do not base your decision off of years in the business either. An agent who has been in the business 2 years could very easily have many more transactions than someone in the business for 20 years. Experience in this business does not equal to years in the business.
This person will need to know your personal financial information and details about your life to help you to purchase or sell a property. In the end, whomever you feel the most comfortable around should be your agent.
