Best Way To Go About Picking Agent? Interview?

Marcus Isaac
  • Newark, DE
Posted

Hello All, 

I'm in the process of looking for a real estate agent and I have a few that I want to contact. I just want to know the best way to go about seeing if they're the right fit. Should I treat it like a job interview where I'm asking them every question that I have written down or is there a "proper way" of asking your questions without it being so formal? 

I know this seems pretty simple, I just want to make sure I'm obtaining the information I need to know while not offending them (if that's possible). 

Thanks, 

Marcus

@Marcus Isaac First question to the realtor: How many properties do you own? (all of your people must be investors)

Second: How do you evaluate the worth of a property? (successful people have a method)

Third: Would you mind working with me for the next year, without getting paid, or until we found a property that fit my criteria? (obvious)
