Questions to Ask a Real Estate Agent

It’s important to choose the best real estate agent for your wants and needs! They will assist you during the negotiation process, and help you find your preferred area and location.

Keep in mind the following questions to ask a real estate agent.

What is your availability?

One of the main questions to ask a real estate agent is their availability. To make sure that your agent’s schedule will work for you and your family, try to know exactly when you can contact them, answer emails, plan showings, and be responsive.

Questions to Ask a Real Estate Agent

Do you work with both buyers and sellers?

Many real estate agents specialize in either representing buyers or sellers. Finding someone who specializes is great, but an agent who does both can provide some very helpful suggestions on either side of the process.

Can I see your real estate license?

Although it may seem obvious, you should always make sure you are working with a licensed professional. Unfortunately, there are many scams going on!

How will you determine which properties would fit my needs?

Your agent should ask you many questions regarding your wants and needs, to make sure your home-buying criteria are identified when looking for a property. 

At the same time, your agent should be able to inform you whether your needs and criteria are realistic in your area.

Questions to Ask a Real Estate Agent

Have you assisted buyers find homes in these areas?

The area you’re looking at should be familiar to your real estate agent. Communities vary regarding the types of homes that buyers want, the kinds of homes that sell, and so on. Make sure your agent is familiar with the neighborhood where you wish to buy.
