Use these notes as an educational starting point. Your financing, agreement and property require individual review.
- Ask about relevant experience and whether the agent works in real estate full time.
- Buyers should understand how the agent estimates market value and responds when a property appears overpriced.
- Sellers should ask how the suggested list price was developed and how the home will be marketed beyond an MLS entry.
- Discuss the agent’s research, negotiation approach and plan for handling low interest or weak offers.
- Ask how prospective buyers will be qualified and what support the agent provides before and after an agreement is signed.
