Make a list of questions to ask the Realtor when you meet with him. Be sure to bring a pad of paper and pen so you can take notes. Some essential questions are:
- Do you have an active real estate license?
- Is real estate your full-time career?
- How much of your business comes from referrals?
- How long have you been working in the area?
- Do you live in the area? If so, how long?
- How long does it take your average client to sell their home (or find the right home, if they’re buying)?
- Are you a member of the Multiple Listing Service (MLS)? MLS membership means you’ll have access to all the listings in the area, including pictures and descriptions.
