An agent's experience and education matters

[Hillary Rodriguez]

How many years of experience and education should a real estate agent have before I move forward into a deal with them?

@Hillary Rodriguez I would have to agree with @Russell Brazil great comment. Just because someone has been in a profession for a long time doesn't mean they're good. If someone has spent 2x the amount of time (compared to the alternative) and have been awful all the time, then they are twice as awful as your alternative. 

@Jeff Copeland has given you a great set of questions to ask to develop a better understanding of the realtor. Just remember: The quality of the answers is directly proportional to the quality of the questions. 

Best of luck!
