Looking to buy real estate in Georgia?

It seems almost everyone knows (or even is related) to a real estate professional. This is definitely true in the state of Georgia where you will always have many real estate agents from which to choose. 

Yet, all real estate agents and real estate professionals are not created equal. 

When you are looking to develop a relationship with a realtor in Georgia to buy or sell property – land or a home – you need to be sure to find a real estate professional who not only knows the business, but who also has your best interest at heart. 

To make sure you find the best Georgia real estate agent for you, here are 10 questions to ask:

1. How long have you been in the real estate business? 
2. Do you work for a real estate company and what resources do they provide to help you do your job better? 
3. Is there a fee up-front to work with you and what percentage will you charge me if I am the seller? 
4. What do you do to help a seller sell their property faster and for the best price? 
5. The market is competitive. How can help you help me get the home or property I want to buy when there are so many people looking at the same listings? 
6. If I am selling my property, how will you handle multiple offers? 
7. If I am buying property and there are multiple offers, what do you do to help ensure our offer is considered or ideally, accepted? 
8. Why do you feel you are a better choice for me than other agents? 
9. What are your standards for doing business?
10. Do you have references I can speak with to learn more about working with you?
