What’s the best way to search for a home?
Call your neighborhood real estate brokerages. Buyers and sellers have different needs, and certain real estate agents might specialize in selling over buying and vice versa. Whatever your preference, there will be a number of questions you will want to ask a real estate agent before they start helping you with your home search:
Where can I find a realtor to sell my home?
If you’re selling a home, ask where the home will be featured. The main places you’ll need to be is on the MLS and the big online sites (Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia, etc…). Other sites, including the agent’s personal website aren’t as important. Also, beware of an agent who wants to keep your house off the MLS for any reason.
How can I find out if my realtor has a license?
To check that the license is current, go to your state’s real estate department website and look up the agent’s name. You will also be able to see if the agent has faced any disciplinary action.
