CHOOSING THE RIGHT REAL ESTATE AGENT
20 Suggested Questions to Ask Your Real Estate Agent
Ask questions upfront to find out if you and the agent are a good fit
1) Will you look for homes for me or am I doing that on my own?
2) What if I see a house on Zillow or another website and want you to show it to me?
3) What if I'm driving and see a house for sale and want you to show it to me?
4) Will you email me lists of homes?
5) When are you available to show homes?
6) When are you never available to show homes?
7) Do you have anyone to cover for you if I want to see a home and you're out of town or on vacation?
8) Do you need to be with me at open houses?
9) Do you need to be with me if I tour new construction homes?
10) Will you notice and point out visual defects of the homes we see in person?
11) Am I required to use your preferred lender?
12) Do you recommend offering full asking price?
13) Do you recommend waiving any contract contingencies?
14) Do you recommend requesting the seller pay for repairs?
15) Will I get a home warranty?
16) Do I qualify for a 2-1 buydown?
17) Can I get the seller to cover some or all of my closing costs?
18) Will you hand me off to someone else entirely or stay involved in the process personally until I pick up my keys?
19) Do you have a home buying plan in writing for me?
20) Do you have references I may call?
Take the time to interview a few real estate agents before choosing one. It could be the difference between your disappointment or delight.
