AI summary
Choosing the right real estate agent is a critical financial decision. Look for key qualities like professionalism, a strong buyer database, and a proven sales track record in your area. A great way to research is by attending local open homes to observe agents firsthand.
Once you create a shortlist, interview at least two agents. Ask about their marketing strategy, recent sales, and all costs. Finally, verify their license and check for complaints on the Real Estate Authority (REA) public register.
