Tips for finding the right buyer agent for you

A good buyer agent can be a tremendous asset as you go about the process of buying your new home, condo or investment property (read more here). Here are some ideas to help you think about finding the right buyer agent for you.

As you begin your property search, you're likely to encounter a number of different real estate agents. Do you have questions about the market? About specific properties? You can use your questions as opportunities to learn more about these agents.

You will find that every agent is different. Some will be more responsive and more helpful than others. Some will have specific areas of focus and knowledge that are important to you. Some will clearly be a good fit with your personality, while others will not.

Now let's assume you've found a couple of agents that stand out above the rest. You can move forward with your selection process by interviewing these agents. Ask the agents the questions that matter most to you. Then ask for references, and call them.

By the time you've completed this process, you should be able to find an agent that is a good fit for you.
