it comes up, scroll all the way down to read any comments
that may be there. Their DRE number should also be on their
business card so you could find it there.
If the DRE is examining their record and business practices,
then maybe you might want to choose someone else to talk to.
If you would like material to help you evaluate an agent’s
answers to the list of questions, feel free to email Allison@
SuperBroker.com with the subject line being Follow Up Info
for Agent Questions.
Allison will be happy to email you additional information
you might need to navigate and evaluate the information and
answers you received during your interview. n
