6 Best Questions to Ask When Interviewing Realtors

6 Best Questions to Ask When Interviewing Realtors

 

1. Do you work full time?

This is a very important one. Real Estate is one of the biggest financial transactions and to trust someone who is working in it part time for a quick buck and not in your best interest doesn’t seem wise. Continuing education, dedication, up to date knowledge, commitment, latest technology and trends, time and money investment here are just a few qualities of a Full Time Realtor.
 
 

2. Do you have any support/staff members?

There are so many moving parts in a Real Estate transaction and for you it will start and stop with your Realtor, but what if he/she is sick, on vacation, or has a personal emergency? Do they have someone to fall back on to move forward smoothly or will your transaction fall apart?
 
Hmmm...definitely something to keep in mind.

3. Are you a Realtor or Broker Associate?

Yes, there is a big difference, and not everyone who sells homes is a Realtor.
 
To be a Realtor means being a part of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and local Realtor Associations, following a code of Ethics, having rules and regulations, and taking their business seriously. The Broker Associate has a real estate license and that’s about it.
 

4. What are the latest tools you use?

Even though all Realtors do the same – sell homes, THE WAY it is done is different. Up-to-date technology, websites, and tools are how agents stay competitive in the rapidly changing real estate market.
 
Make sure your agent and their approach to conducting business is still relevant.
 
 

5. What transaction are you most proud of?

If you understand how the agent conducted themselves in a specific situation it might help you understand how they will handle the situation and negotiation of your deal.
 

6. What is your plan of action for me?

Good professional knows the steps you need to take to get you your desired outcome. Whether it’s a crazy market, bad credit, multiple offer situation, or low inventory, no matter what your situation might be your Realtor should have a plan of action for you.
 
Hiring a knowledgeable advocate to help you with such a big step in your life is crucial, take your time, ask questions, trust your gut, and make a good choice.
