How do I choose a realtor?

When I have questions about a doctor, hairdresser or general contractor, et cetera I ask my friends and family about their experiences with these professionals. They usually have an opinion and are happy to share all the particulars. As buying and selling real estate is probably the most expensive financial endeavdor we transact, it is so important to find the right Realtor for the job.

Hi Jan. This is a great question and I will answer in very much the same way that I answered your question about how to find a good lender. I would recommend that you contact a couple of different agents and just chat with them. Once again this is a very important decision and first in my mind is that you and your Realtor need to "click". Of course you want to know about their experience and how comfortable they are in working with someone in your particular situation. Asking friends if they have someone they would recommend is a good place to start. Of course, I would be honored to speak with you myself and see if I would be a good fit or if I know anyone who be able to help.
