Many of the same questions, hesitations and strategies connected with seeking out professional assistance in any field whether you're looking for a doctor, dentist, lawyer or accountant come into play when you're selecting a real estate agent. Some people find an agent through a family member or friend. This is often a reliable approach. But you might not always find the most compatible assistance this way. And in a transaction as important and intensive as buying and selling a home, that can be critical.
Regardless of how you get an agent's name, it might be worth interviewing at least a couple before you make a final decision or at least arming yourself with some criteria to go over with any agent who has been recommended to you.

How to choose a Realtor
If you're looking for an agent to list your home, be wary of anyone who suggests they can get an unreasonably high sales price. An agent might use a high listing price to secure a contract, only to seek a lower price later, after little traffic is generated at the initial price level. Meanwhile, you've lost what can be the most critical time period in selling a home the first weeks immediately after it's listed.
Check on experience, education. As with most professions, experience pays in real estate. Experienced agents know the market and the marketing process. They'll have the best chance of quickly and smoothly helping you to buy or sell your home. Experienced agents also know exactly what the current group of buyers are looking for in relation to particular styles and price ranges of properties. A skilled agent can recommend changes that will enhance the salability of your home, thus increasing the price and /or decreasing the time before a sale.
S E L L I N G : A F e w T h i n g s t o L o o k f o r
If you're a buyer does the agent discuss and/or offer buyer agency? More and more buyers are deciding they want full contractual representation on the same level as the seller. Be sure to discuss buyer agency with any agent you're thinking about working with.
Does the agent know the market? Is the agent knowledgeable about the community? Do they have a feel for that history of the area, and the approx. price that people will be willing to pay? Also, real estate agents should know the competition is and how much it will effect your sale.
Is the agent part of a national network? This can be especially important if you're selling in one city in preparation of moving to another. Your selling agent can refer you to a professional, compatible agent in your destination city and keep in close contact with that agent so both your selling and buying efforts are closely coordinated.
B U Y I N G : A F e w T h i n g s t o L o o k f o r
Does the agent seem primarily interested in sharing expertise and market knowledge in an honest and straightforward manner? Or does the agent seem more interested in telling you what you want to hear or spend a lot of effort trying to market additional products and services?
The worst time to secure the services of a "yes-man" or an agent who seems to have a bit too many 'irons in the fire' is when you're entering a transaction involving something as expensive as your home.
You need straightforward, reliable information even if it's not necessarily flattering regarding the home you're selling or very encouraging regarding a home you think you might want to buy.
