The Sohar’s Realtor interview checklist for Buyer’s

The following are questions that you need to ask other Realtor’s and get satisfactory answers to, before you select a realtor to help represent you. A qualified professional will welcome the opportunity to give you the information you need to make a good decision.

Professional Qualifications

1) Are you a full time realtor?

2) Have you had professional training beyond your mandatory license basics?   If so, what and when?

3) Are you respected by your fellow realtors? Have you had any ethics or arbitration problems?

Marketing Knowledge

1) Will you show me all the listings that are available, regardless of the real estate board it’s on?

2) Do you have financial expertise to help us (me) get the best mortgage?

3) Do you have a professional agreement defining our relationship, beyond the Buyers broker agreement?

Success Track Record

1) Are you a good negotiator? What % of your offers gets accepted?

2) Do your transactions close regularly without problems?

3) Will you follow up to be sure I am satisfied?

What will you actually do for me?

 1)  Will I be dealing with you or an assistant?

 2)  How often will you be in contact with me?

 3) Do you offer a Written Release if I am not satisfied with your services?

If you get negative or evasive responses to these questions, it would be wise to search for another Realtor. Selecting the right agent to help you buy your next property is as important as any other factor in succeeding.
