When considering buying or selling a home, it is important to utilize the help of an experienced real estate agent. There are many things to consider before making this important decision. Here are the six key factors to take into consideration before choosing the real estate agent to help you with the buying or selling process.


1. Don't Pick Blindly.It's estimated that 68% of people choose the first agent that they meet. However, it is important to do your research and find a reputable agent that can help you buy or sell your home.
2. Ask The People You Trust. Personal recommendations are important because you want to work with someone who has a good reputation among your peers.
3. Interview The Agent. Make sure you know who they are, what they plan to do, and how they will sell your home for top dollar. 
4. Make Sure They Are Paying Attention. Always make sure that the agent is paying attention to you during the interview process. This speaks volumes about whether or not they will listen to you during the transaction.
5. Evaluate The Office/Brokerage That The Agent Works For. Is it small or large? Do they have enough resources on hand to meet your needs?
6. Find Someone You Are Comfortable With.You are going to be working alongside this person for at least a month or maybe more, so find someone that you are able to get along with.
