Selecting your agent for either buying or selling is an important first step, and should not be taken lightly. You are the client, and you must be satisfied. The ideal agent is experienced, is knowledgeable about the locality in which you are interested, is ethical, and is a good negotiator. If you do not know any agents, ask a friend or associate who has recently purchased a home what they think about their agent. (Experienced agents meet many of their clients through "word-of-mouth" referrals.) Another way to meet agents on an informal basis is to visit open houses, or to answer ads, and have an agent show you one property. It is very important that you "feel comfortable" with your agent; if you have any reservations, look for a new agent. Remember, as the client, you get to choose your agent.
