Real Estate Agent Interview Question List

[Logan Walder]

Hi BiggerPockets,

I am finishing up my last year of school and looking to start my real estate journey post-graduation. I am seeking to build the team of professionals necessary to succeed, particularly when starting, and I have begun connecting with real estate agents in the local area I will be living in. I wanted to get your thoughts on essential questions I should be asking to find the right fit for an agent for me. What are the main points I should be bringing up, and the best vetting practices in general? Looking for any and all advice, thanks in advance!

Question #1 - Do you own any real estate investment properties?

SO many agents are out there advertising themselves as "investor friendly," especially now that REI has become so mainstream... but MANY have never actually invested in real estate themselves and really do not know the ins and outs of it. This was a show stopper for me when I started.
