Everyone is looking for the perfect realtor to buy or sell their next home, but how do you know how to go about finding him or her and how do you know you've stumbled across the right person? While you're in luck, here are our top three tips to finding that perfect realtor!

Start by examining an agent’s online presence. Check the agent’s website and social media accounts. Take a look at their online reviews, as well. Don’t worry about one or two negative reviews, but more than that could be a red flag.

Be sure to check with your state’s real estate regulator to find out whether an agent you’re considering is licensed or has any disciplinary actions. Vet candidates you’re interviewing on your local Better Business Bureau’s website to see if they’ve received any complaints.

While you’re doing your homework to find the right agent, it is also a good time to create a wish list and must-haves of what you’re seeking in a home.

An interview is your opportunity to get a sense of the agent’s style and experience. Ultimately, you’re looking for someone who is familiar with a particular area and understands your budget and needs.

“See how polished and professional their proposal is,” says Katherine Hutt, president and founder of Nautilus Communications and former chief communications officer with the Better Business Bureau. “The more effort they put into a presentation for you, the more effort they’ll put into presentations when they’re working for you. You want someone who is really savvy.”

Questions to ask include how long they’ve been a real estate agent, how many clients they currently have and how long they typically work with buyers to close on a home. It’s also a good idea to ask the typical price range and neighborhoods of homes they usually help their buyers find, how they help buyers stay competitive in this market and what their commission fees are.

Interviews also give you a chance to find out the agent’s preferred method of communication and their availability. For example, if you’re most comfortable texting and expect to visit homes after work hours during the week, you’ll want an agent who’s happy to do the same.

Ask agents you’re considering to provide information on homes they’ve listed and sold in the past year, with contact information for at least a few recent clients. Call those clients to find out their experiences and what type of support the agent provided throughout the process, including during the negotiations. Ask whether they’d hire that agent again for their next real estate transaction.
