Smart consumers interview potential real estate agents before deciding on whom to hire

Just as you are sizing up the potential for a good fit, rest assured that the real estate agent will likely be interviewing you, too. Be wary of agents who don’t ask you questions and probe for your motivation. You wouldn’t work with just any agent off the street, and good agents are just as selective about their clients, too.

Like entering into any business deal or contract, you should interview several agents and find your perfect fit.

• One who answers your questions honestly, openly and with a knowledge of the business

• One you fell comfortable with… there are a lot of personal info exchanged.

• One who would not mind a late night call with a question you forgot to ask.

• One who is available week-ends and evenings as well as regular business hours.

• One who sells real estate for a living. No part timers fly by night agents.

• One who tells you exactly what commissions he charges and what he gives to the co-operating agent.

• One who is willing to give the TERMINATION, if you are not happy with the agents performance. Note: termination and not cancellation!

Besides the above there are tons on other things you should be beware of, before a agent makes you sign on those dotted lines. Just remembered the most important criteria

TERMINATION CLAUSE  – IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE

WALK AWAY FROM AN AGENT WHO WILL NOT GIVE YOU THIS.

NOTE: PUT IT DOWN IN THE LISTING AGREEMENT – not vrebal!
