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?

What’s the deal with real estate agent photos on for sale signs?

Dovetonsils asked:


Does that actually increase sales? Is it an ego trip for the agent? What am I supposed to think when I see a photo of a real estate agent on a sign - wow, that looks like a nice agent, it must be a nice house? When exactly did this start - I remember when they started putting the agent’s names on the sign, I thought that was just to help identify the house when you called.

Who do I report a real estate agent to that has discriminated against me?

9354 asked:


This real estate agent is in NY. They have lied about conditions in the house, they have lied about telling the seller that things need to be done before closing, and they have yelled at me and insulted me saying that I am young and I ask too many questions. I have basically had to do everything myself and they treat me in a way that they would never treat anyone else of a older age. Who do I contact?

Can I get sued for signing with another real estate agent?

house searching asked:


My husband and I used a real estate agent and made an offer on a house. Our real estate agent is a woman and we felt like she was not negotiating well with the seller’s agent. My father in law managed to talk and convince the seller’s real estate agent to take us seriously but we had to offer higer and use him as our real estate agent. Can we get sued by our real estate agent or her office by signing a new contract with another agent? Yes we signed papers with her stating that she would represent us.
