[quote=vproman]Thank you everyone for the good tips. We have been interviewing realtors and it’s interesting to see the differences: some are scrappy and high energy while others are confident and polished. I’m leaning towards the ones that tell me what I need to hear and not want I want to hear. This will be a big purchase that hopefully we’ll spend decades living in, so we want to do our due diligence.[/quote]

My personal opinion is… If you see a realtor show up in a nice car and nice designer suit or business suit, skip the realtor. Because you are paying for those designer brands he/she buys and the fancy car he/she leases…

If your realtor prospect shows up in a collared polo shirt and shorts and a decent but not ostentatious car and isn’t pushy about trying to get you to find a house asap…..If your realtor does deals from 1/1 condos to multi-million homes, you know you have a pretty good realtor. Because regardless of what you are buying, he/she is giving you the same time and day as any other client.
