TAKING THE TIME to do a little research before you commit to a working<br />
relationship with a real estate agent can prove beneficial to you by saving you<br />
time and money. Try these tips before you hire to get the best service available<br />
and have a pleasant experience.<br />
If you are buying, ask for a list of recent<br />
clients your potential real estate agent<br />
has helped find a home. Call them and<br />
ask about their experience.<br />
If you are selling, ask agents to provide<br />
a list of what they’ve listed and sold in<br />
the past year, with contact information.<br />
When you call, you should ask what<br />
the asking price was and then what<br />
the sales price was. Another good<br />
question for sellers is: How long has<br />
the home been on the market?<br />
Georgia has a Board of Realtors® who license and discipline real estate agents.<br />
Check with them to find out if your potential agent is licensed and if there have<br />
been any disciplinary actions or complaints against them. The information may<br />
be posted online.<br />
