Try to Locate Past Customers of the Agent

A prospective home buyer can learn a great deal about a real estate agent by talking with some of the agent’s past customers. Do those past customers feel that the agent provided them with a true picture of the real estate in Minnesota? Did the agent acquaint them with facts about the local schools? Did the agent offer plenty of information about the availability of public transportation or the proximity of major highways?

Do Not Hesitate to Interview Agents



Usually before someone is hired for a job he or she must go to an interview. Why then should a prospective home buyer agree to hire a real estate agent without first interviewing that agent? A prospective home buyer should be prepared to seek the following information. v The prospective buyer should learn about the extent of the agent’s experience. Does the agent have a lot of homes included in the available listings? How many homes has the agent sold within the past year? Those are the sort of questions that the prospective home buyer or home seller needs to have answered.
