Are all real estate agents equal? The answer is no. It’s important to interview more than one real estate agent. Today, I want to share some good questions you should be asking a real estate broker before you hire them.

1. Do you work with a team or are you an independent agent? If you work with a solo real estate broker, there’s a high chance they will have a conflict in their schedule when you’re looking at homes. Homes are selling incredibly fast in today’s market, so missing a showing could mean missing out on your dream home. With my team, you have 6 agents available to show you a home whenever you want.


2. How many properties have you sold in the last 12 months? Here in Denver, there are 16,000 licensed agents, and 8,000 of them have never sold a home. The average real estate broker should sell at least four homes a year. When you hire an agent, you’re getting more than their experience; you’re also getting their connections. An experienced agent who sells more than 4 homes a year will know inspectors, title company reps, structural engineers, and attorneys. The more sales an agent has, the better he or she can navigate tricky transactions.


3. Can you provide me with references or testimonials from previous clients? Is there a website where you can see that past clients had good experiences with this agent? You also need to look for recent testimonials. It doesn’t matter if a client had a good experience with this agent 15 years ago.


4. Follow your gut. Work with the person you think understands your needs best and will work on your behalf to accomplish your goals.
