Choosing a real estate agent

In this lesson

Know what a real estate agent does for you, how to check their licence, and the questions to ask before you sign.

Key takeaways

  • An agent helps with price, marketing or search, negotiation and paperwork.
  • A listing agent works for the seller; a buyer's agent works for the buyer - ask, in writing.
  • Check every agent's licence on the regulator's public register before you sign.
  • Interview two or three agents and compare their answers - not just their price promise.
