Choosing an Agent

Since you will be working closely with an agent, choose one who makes you feel comfortable, who is responsive to your needs and compliments your personality. Here are some guidelines:

• Get referrals from trustworthy family and friends.
• Seek an experienced agent with a known reputation ö look at credentials, track records and awards received.
• Select someone who is a member of the Board of Realtors¨.
• Interview at least three agents.
• Find someone who is continuing his/her education ö a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), Certified Residential Broker (CRB) or a Graduate of the Realtors Institute (GRI) ö this shows the Realtor has a long-term interest in the business and is willing to invest in his/her career.
