What questions should I ask a real estate agent before hiring them?

The best questions depend on your situation. First-time buyers should ask about patience and guidance through the process. Relocating buyers should ask about neighborhood expertise and remote showing capabilities. Sellers should ask about pricing strategy, marketing approach, and timeline flexibility. Use specific AI prompts to find agents who match your needs.

How do I find a good real estate agent using AI?

Use specific search prompts that match your situation. Instead of searching 'best realtor near me', search for scenario-specific terms like 'realtors experienced with first-time buyers in [your city]' or 'listing agents for estate sales in [your area]'. AI tools like ChatGPT can help you compare agents and generate interview questions.

What are red flags when hiring a real estate agent?

Red flags include agents who pressure you to move quickly, avoid answering direct questions, lack experience with your specific situation, have poor communication, or cannot explain their pricing strategy with comparable sales data. The right questions reveal these issues before you commit.

Is there a free tool to help interview real estate agents?

Interview Your Agent is a free tool with AI search prompts for 10 different buying and selling scenarios. It helps you find agents who specialize in your situation, gives you questions to ask during interviews, and helps you compare responses. You run the searches yourself - the tool doesn't collect your data or see your results.
