CHOOSE A REAL ESTATE AGENT WHO WILL REPRESENT YOU

We recommend that you interview real estate agents before you start working with an agent, Ask the following questions:

1. Are you going to represent my interests or the Seller's?
    
2. How are your fees structured?  Can I have that information in writing?
    
3. What geographical areas are you most knowledgeable about?
    
4. What experience have you had as a Buyer's Agent? Do you have any special knowledge or credentials that would benefit me (eg, first-time homebuyer programs or training as a buyer's agent)?
    
5. Do you have full access to the area Multiple Listing Service (MLS)?
    
6. Do you have access for For Sale by Owner (FSBO) and foreclosed properties?
    
7. How many homes are you prepared to show me?
    
8. Do you also list houses for sale?
    
9. Will you sign a guarantee that you represent my interests exclusively and not attempt to sell houses you list?
    
10. Will you make decisions about what homes to show me without regard to co-fees offered to cooperating agents on MLS listings?
