Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Real Estate Agent

Choosing an agent is one of the most important decisions in any move. You're trusting someone with a big financial decision and a lot of your time. Before you sign anything, here are a few questions worth asking - of any agent, including me.

How will you keep me updated?

You should never have to chase your agent for answers. Ask how often they communicate and how.

Do you actually listen to what I want?

A good agent asks you more questions than they answer at first. Your goals should drive the search, not their listings.

What happens if I'm not happy?

A confident agent will answer this directly. You should feel in control of the relationship.

What do you do after we get started?

The best answer involves a plan, not just a promise.

You deserve an agent who earns your trust before they earn your business. If you ever want to ask me these questions, my line is always open.
