Red Flags With An Agent
It's common to look for a good track record, professionalism, area expertise, and more when surveying for an agent.
With that in mind, what are some red flags that scream out to you when hiring for the job?

@Ran Iarovich Good communication and punctuality are critical for me when working with anyone, but especially an agent. When someone doesn't do what they said they would, its a red flag for me. It could be meeting at a property at a specific time, an unprofessional email, or multiple days of not responding without any 'out of office' kind of message.
