What questions should I ask when interviewing a buyer's agent?
Ask how they'll help you find homes that match your needs and budget, and how often they'll communicate. Find out their experience with your target neighborhoods and price range. Ask how they handle multiple offer situations and negotiations. Understand how showing and touring will work, and whether they'll attend inspections. Ask about their availability and response time. It's also smart to ask for references or examples of how they've helped buyers with situations like yours. You want someone who listens, explains the process clearly, and advocates for your interests. Chemistry and trust matter as much as experience, so make sure you feel comfortable working together.
