Signs you should be looking for when interviewing an agent that will guarantee you success.
1. Cut through the sales hype. Ask about their values, approach to business, and see if they take the time to really inquire about what is most important to you. Boastful agents don't generally care about you, they care about getting another listing under their belt how it makes them look.
2. Seek out an agent that is respected in the industry and has a good relationship with the offices they have worked for and their past clients. Ask to speak to their past clients!
3. Find out who you will actually be working with. Big flashy teams and agents with the most sales don't generally have one-on-one time for a personal white glove service experience. Often times you're passed off to an assistant or newbie team member, which doesn't necessarily guarantee a top level experience.
4. Ask if they will reduce their commission (but don't work with any agent who does reduce it!). They should say no, or at the very least put up a fight. If an agent won't fight for their own money, why would they fight for yours?
5. Choose an agent with a large real estate network. An agent with an International presence and network of offices and agents have more resources to make your home sale happen.
