What to look for in a good real estate agent?
Kathy R asked:
My dad is a public school teacher but he became a millionare investing in real estate. His advise is to hire the “youngest and hottest real estate dame in town”. He says they get more people interested in their properties and they are harder to say no to when working through a deal. He sounds like a pig to me on this one but it has worked for him. Any one with experience on this one because I need to find a good agent.

What is the most important thing you want from a real estate agent?
Jeanne B asked:
I’m a real estate agent and I would like to hear from home buyers and sellers. I have two questions, and I would like only one answer for each question, although you may elaborate as much as you want on that one answer!
1. As a home buyer, what is the single most important service
you want/need from your agent?
2. As a home buyer, what is the single most important quality
you want/need your agent to have?
3. As a home seller, what is the single most important service
you want/need from your agent?
4. As a home seller, what is the single most important quality
you want/need your agent to have?
Please don’t state the obvious, like “I want my agent to find me the right home” or “I want my agent to sell my house fast.”
What I really want to know is what service and quality make you comfortable that the agent will find the right home for you and sell your home fast.

How to find a good commercial real estate agent?
the screaming frog asked:
I want to purchase a commercial real estate property, preferably a retail or office property. How do I find a good agent to help me out since I’m a complete novice? Specifically, what are some good screening questions I should ask him/her to make sure they know what they’re doing- beyond just the standard “how long have you been doing this” kind of stuff?

My hubby and I are planning on looking at homes to buy. However, we are not 100% sure that we want to buy –it depends on what we find, we may not find one we like and go with renting. If we look at homes, do we have to pay the real estate agent that shows us the homes?

Who should pay the real estate agent for apartment rental in NYC? The tenant or landlord?
The cool man asked:
I am a landlord and I recently rented out an apartment through a real estate agent. The tenant paid 1 month security, first month rent, and the last month rent of a 1 year lease. My real estate agent took the last month rent from my tenant as the commission. This means that I won’t get the last month rent when the lease is up. Is this how it works? I always thought that the tenants pay for the fees. In this case, I am paying for it.

What things should you never tell a real estate agent about?
SD2007 asked:
I am meeting with a real estate agent for help with buying a house. I’m aware that she is not a buyer’s agent, so I can assume she is always going to be working for the seller’s best interest (and her commission). What information should I hold back from her? Pre-approval amount? Highest bid on a particular house? Down payment amount? Also, what could she possibly tell me that I should think twice about?
