3. Communication: Choose an agent who you feel comfortable communicating with and who you believe will keep you informed throughout the process.
4. Resources: Look for an agent who has access to the resources you need, such as a network of professionals and the ability to market your property effectively. Also make certain that your agent has a marketing plan tailored to your needs and that is specific in promoting your property.
5. Availability: Choose an agent who is available to show your property and work with prospective buyers.
6. Online Presence: Look at an agent’s online reviews and references from past clients.
7. Interview agents. Interview several agents before making a decision.
