What they do, how to check them and what to ask
Members

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.
