A thorough agent interview should cover the agent's experience in your target market, their knowledge of neighborhoods, their transaction history, and their available time and resources. Ask about their buyer representation policies, how they stay in touch, their technology platforms, and how they handle multiple offer situations. This meeting is your opportunity to assess whether the agent can meet your specific needs and communication preferences.
Pro Tip
Interview at least 2-3 agents and ask for references. This helps you find someone who understands your needs.
Example
A buyer planning to purchase in a competitive market might interview three agents, comparing their market statistics, past client feedback, and proposed buyer representation approach before deciding to hire one.
