Before you choose a Realtor ask:

  • May I have a copy of your license?

  • May I have proof of your E&O ins?

  • May I have your Broker and Managers contact info?

  • May I have three references?

  • What Board of Realtors do you belong to?

  • Do you or your office receive any sort of incentive from the lender, the escrow, the title company you refer to me? Do they pay rent in your office, help with advertising, have signed marketing agreements, or anything else that may influence your referral? Do you get paid differently if I use them? (Get this in writing)

  • May I have three names of Realtors who have had successful transactions with you?

  • May I have the names of the designations you have obtained and when you received them?

  • May I have the names of the last classes or continuing education courses you attended?


    • Most professionals would welcome such an inquiry. It would demonstrate that you want to work with a full time professional who has made sacrifices in order to better serve you. The full time professionals are also concerned about the individuals who cannot answer all of these questions to your satisfaction. They take pride in their chosen profession and want to see the bar raised.
