What should we look for in a qualified, competent agent?

A. Just because someone passed a state licensing examination doesn’t mean they are qualified to handle your needs. All agents are not the same. Here are a few things you should look for in a qualified agent. 1. First, determine if they specialize in your area or type of home. 2. Ask them how they helped clients overcome specific problems they encountered in a past transaction. 3. Ask them specifically what they will do for you if they represent you. They should have a step-by-step plan of action. 4. Ask them how long they’ve practiced real estate, and how many transactions they have under their belt. 5. Ask them about their marketing skills. Most agents are trained to handle transactions and understand the law, but not all of them are trained in effective marketing.
