Questions to Ask Your Agent
 Finding a real estate agent is important, but finding the right one for you is paramount. Here are questions to ask prospective agents and help you narrow down your list:
How can you help me find the right home?
Good agents will impress you with their knowledge of the local real estate market and their ability to appreciate what you are looking for in a home. They should be able to show you what is available in your price range, and how the features and benefits of specific houses and neighbourhoods fit your requirements.
Given our particular circumstances, what advice would you offer?
Every family is different, and a good real estate agent appreciates this. He or she should be able to advise you on how to find a home that meets your unique circumstances and lifestyle.
Why should I work with just one agent?
If you don't have an exclusive agency agreement with your sales representative, you're not legally obligated to work only with him to find your next home. It may, however, greatly benefit you to do so. Talk to your prospective real estate agent to find out his position, and then determine what's best for you.
What happens when you are not available?
Agents work extremely long hours and try to be available whenever and wherever you need them. But however accommodating they try to be, they are not always available.
Ask your prospective real estate agents what arrangements they have in place when they are not available.
What makes your real estate service special?
Every agent tries hard to give top-notch service, but what distinguishes a really good one from the rest? Ask them. You may be surprised at what they have to say and, just as importantly, how they say it.
Next steps
When the interviews are over, it's time to make a choice. Think about what the real estate agent told you, and ask yourself some questions:
- Did they seem trustworthy and honest?
- Were they realistic when discussing your home purchase?
- Did they communicate well? Were you on the same page?
- Were they committed, motivated and experienced?
