Interview Questions

Informed sellers and buyers interview realtors they potentially want to hire. The interview also allows realtors to get to know their possible clients. Here’s a list of questions to ask to help provide insight about the realtor, their real estate methods and to learn about their business. Receiving answers and reviewing their personality is important. Don’t be shy — this could be the most important business decision of your life!
