Hire a Realtor®
All Realtors are licensed to sell real estate, but not all real estate agents are Realtors®
Realtors® are members of the National Association of Realtors and follow the Code of Ethics, a standard of practice, with levels of conduct that are higher than ordinary business practices or those required by law. Less than 1/2 of all Agents are Realtors®.
Attend Open Houses
You can tell quite a bit about an Agent while attending an Open House. Is the Agent professional and informative? Does the agent talk about the features of the house and take an interest in the people who are viewing the home? If the Agent is watching the game on T.V or ignoring you and trying to read a book..RUN!
Get Personal and Professional Referrals
Just because an Agents advertising claims.."they are the best in the West" doesn't make it true. Talk to your friends and business associates who have had a good experience with an Agent. It's very helpful, to talk to first time buyers (if they are in your circle.) First time buyers need guidance and honesty from their agent, if they have had a good experience...that is likely a very good Agent.
Check Out the Internet
With statistics showing that up to 85% of all homebuyers begin their search on the internet, an Agent that is not internet savy is not going to be able to market your home effectively. Your Agent must have an internet presence, have a website and be proficient on the internet. It would not hurt to see that they have an e-pro certification which designates them as having additional Internet training and experience.
