Author: When you talk to a broker, try to find out the following:
1. How long has he or she been in business?
2. Is the firm well established in the markets you’ve identified as being of interest to you?
3. Does the firm have a number of listings in your price range?
4. How professional does the broker appear to be? Does he or she ask intelligent questions and really listen to your answers?
5. Can the broker answer basic questions about the tax rates, development trends, school systems, and municipal services in the markets you’re considering?
6, Does the broker seem willing to help you find the house you want, or does he or she seem more interested in pushing whatever listings happen to be on hand?
7. Is the broker available during the times that are most convenient for you to look at homes?
8. Does the broker have “exclusive listings” that can be seen by the buyers working with him or her before they are advertised more widely? That is, wifi using this or that broker give you any particular advantage?
