FOLLOW UP INFO FOR AGENT QUESTIONS
1, Are you a full-time or a part-time agent?
Having another job shouldn’t necessarily cut a potential real estate agent out of the running, but you need to be aware if
this is a part-time gig before committing. Someone who also works somewhere else may be harder to reach and could
miss out on opportunities to show your house.
2. What multiple listing service or board are you a member of?
Membership in this professional organization is what allows a real estate agent to use the title Realtor. Being a Realtor
means that the person must follow the organization’s ethical guidelines and keep up with continuing education.
3. How many years have you been actively selling real estate?
Though a new real estate agent can certainly be motivated and eager to please, a pro with years of experience will have
the knowledge and skill to face unexpected challenges. Taking continuing education courses shows a commitment to
keeping up with changes.
