How to choose a real estate agent
It's all about asking the right questions when it comes to choosing the right agent for you.
AI summary
Choosing the right real estate agent is a critical financial decision. Look for a professional with a strong sales track record in your area and a robust network of active buyers.
A great way to research is by attending local open homes to see agents in action. Shortlist a few candidates to interview, asking about their marketing strategy, experience, and fees.
Don't just pick the agent with the highest appraisal. Always verify their license and check for complaints on the Real Estate Authority (REA) public register before committing.
