5 Critical Questions to Ask a Potential Agent



When you’re buying a home, it’s crucial to work with a qualified real estate agent. Not just a professional, but an amazing agent and a market expert who will best serve your specific needs. So how do you ensure you’re hiring an amazing real estate agent? Start by asking them the following questions.

  • Can you send me some information about yourself?

Look for professionalism and consistency. What are their professional accomplishments? How do they approach their work? The best agent is a business person who has a strategy and solid support system.

  • How long have you been in real estate?

The average Realtor has 10 years of experience. But while longevity is important, even more telling is the number of transactions they have closed or been involved in. Ask about their team’s dynamic and accomplishments if they're a newer agent.

  • Do you have references from past clients?

An agent who provides 5-star service and is proud of their work will be happy to provide references. Look at their ratings and reviews on sites like Google and Yelp.

  • What will you do to keep me informed?

Do you want daily or weekly reports from your agent? Will the agent be able to meet these expectations? Determine how much communication you want, and then find an agent who will give you the attention and time you want and deserve.

  • Can you provide me with further resources I may need?

From market reports to pricing trends, top agents have resources at their disposal. In addition, local experts have built relationships with their extended team of professionals and can often get priority service should a need arise.
