How to Pick the Right Real Estate Agent

Questions to Ask When Choosing an Agent

1. What’s Your Experience in This Market?

Not all agents are created equal. A great agent doesn’t just hold a license; they have deep local market expertise. Ask how long they’ve been in business, how many transactions they’ve handled, and whether they specialize in your area.

👉 REALgratitude®’s advantage: We are licensed in Arizona, California, and Georgia, bringing years of experience and a strong track record of success. We stay ahead of market trends, ensuring you make informed decisions whether buying or selling.

2. What’s Your Marketing Strategy?

Selling a home requires more than just putting it on the MLS. The best agents have a proactive marketing plan that includes high-quality photography, social media campaigns, targeted advertising, open houses, and strong networking connections.

👉 REALgratitude®’s advantage: We combine modern marketing techniques with community outreach. Our listings get exposure through professional media, social platforms, and our extensive network—maximizing visibility and potential offers.

3. How Will You Help Me Get the Best Deal?

Whether buying or selling, negotiation skills are critical. A strong negotiator ensures sellers get top dollar and buyers secure the best terms. Ask the agent for examples of how they’ve successfully negotiated on behalf of past clients.

👉 REALgratitude®’s advantage: With years of contract and negotiation expertise, we fight for our clients to ensure they get the best possible outcome, whether that means a higher sale price, better contract terms, or closing cost savings.

4. What Makes You Different from Other Agents?

Many agents claim to offer great service, but what truly sets them apart? Look for agents who align with your values and bring more than just transactional expertise to the table.

👉 REALgratitude®’s advantage: Unlike traditional agents, we use real estate as a vehicle for community impact. Every transaction supports a nonprofit of your choosing, meaning that your home sale or purchase helps uplift local businesses, charities, and causes that matter to you.

5. Can You Connect Me With Trusted Vendors?

Home buying and selling often come with additional needs—inspections, repairs, staging, and renovations. A great agent should have a reliable network of trusted vendors to make the process seamless.

👉 REALgratitude®’s advantage: We’ve built a rolodex of vetted professionals who can assist with everything from home improvements to moving services. Our goal is to make your transaction as smooth and stress-free as possible.
