"Do you operate solo, or do you have a dedicated support team?" - If an agent has leveraged specialized rolesaEUR"like Transaction Coordinators and Inside Sales AgentsaEUR"so they can focus entirely on the client's needs, that is good information to have. "How many clients do you successfully assist each year?" What success looks like for everyone is different, so a great follow up question might be: "What does success look like for your clients? What types of transactions have you helped them win?" "How do you handle stressful situations or unexpected hurdles?" There is no such thing as a 100% perfect real estate transaction. You want an agent that makes what can be an intimidating or stressful process feel smooth, manageable, and organized. No matter what. "What is your communication style and expected response time?" Client testimonials consistently praise or criticize realtors based on how responsive, attentive, and patient they are. What would make you feel like communication is on point may not align with every agent. In the case that youare going to list your home, "What are your team's current marketing strategies?" This is very important. For example, good photography can attract buyers and highlight features that are especially attractive to buyers. If they don't invest in that, I would find an agent who does.
