Real Estate Agent Questions and Answers

What does a real estate agent do?

A real estate agent advises on pricing and market conditions, markets listings or finds homes for buyers, arranges showings, prepares and negotiates offers and helps coordinate steps through closing.

When should I contact a real estate agent?

Reach out well before you plan to list, so there is time to prepare and price the home, or as soon as you start shopping seriously as a buyer. A listing agent represents the seller and a buyer's agent represents the buyer, so ask any agent to explain who they represent in your transaction.

How do I choose a real estate agent?

Interview more than one agent, ask about recent experience in your area and price range, and how they communicate. Real estate agents are licensed by the state, which you can verify, and review any agreement and its compensation terms before signing.

How are real estate agents paid?

Compensation is typically a negotiated commission or fee described in a written agreement. Terms vary by agent, market and transaction, so ask for details up front and read the agreement carefully.

How should I prepare to meet a real estate agent?

Sellers should gather information on the home's features and updates. Buyers should know their budget and financing status and list must-haves. Both should prepare questions about timing and the local market.
