Most people will only work with a Realtor a handful of times in their life.
So how exactly are you supposed to know what to look for when choosing who to work with?
You can look at what they’ve sold, how long they’ve been doing it and what past clients have to say.
But a lot of what makes someone the right fit shows up in conversation.
Do they listen before giving advice?
Ask enough questions to understand what you actually need?
Explain their thinking?
Tell you what happens if Plan A doesn’t work?
And, maybe underrated: do you actually like talking to them?
You’re going to make some pretty big decisions together, and probably have a few stressful conversations along the way.
You should feel comfortable asking questions, changing your mind or saying, “I have no idea what you just said, explain that again.”
So if you’re interviewing Realtors, these are a few green flags we think are worth noticing.
