Not All Realtors Are The Same

10 Questions to Ask Your Realtor

When it comes to choosing a realtor, you will find that many agents can offer the same thing.  Like, we can all get you into a house.  We can all write a purchase agreement.  We can all answer your emails and phone calls.  The BIGGEST difference that separates your everyday real estate agent and your real estate professional is the level of efficiency and experience that we offer in all those areas.

It’s important to know what questions to ask when determining if the agent is an everyday agent or a real estate professional.  You will find our answers in red 🙂
