Buying a home can be daunting.  That’s why you need to find the right agent to help you find your next home.  Here are eight questions to help you find the right real estate professional:

 

  1. 1. Why did you become a real estate agent?



  1. 2. Why should I work with you?



  1. 3. What do you do better than other real estate agents?



  1. 4. What process will you use to help me find the right home for my particular wants and needs?



  1. 5. What are the most common things that go wrong in a transaction and how would you handle them?



  1. 6. What are some mistakes that you think people make when buying their first home?



  1. 7. What other professionals do you suggest we work with and      what are their credentials? 



  1. 8. Can you provide me with references or testimonials from past clients?
 
 
These eight questions will help you find a real estate professional that will guide you to your dream home.

James, these are all the right questions!  I think it's very important for people to ask about the process.  Agents all have very different approaches to getting their buyers into the perfect house.

James, Have you been over to the Sensei Grasshopper group to find a mentor? The contest participation is an additional 2000 points and it is actually fun. Contact me if you would need any info on how to find it. I think you would really like the interaction and the learning.
