Look for a local broker (not a referral service) that you can talk to on the phone. Verify licenses (reputable Flat Fee (entry only) broker's websites will have a their licenses listed on the home page of their site. Ask to talk to the broker directly (Some company pay some broker just to use his or her license and run it without licensed supervision.  Sometimes the licensed broker is not involved in the operation (this is dangerous).

Make sure there are no hidden fees, that listing broker doesn't try to collect from buyer or buyer agent, that you get on the local MLS, that you can cancel free, that changes are free,that open house postings are free, that they work on weekends.
