Today, we’ll discuss three important characteristics to look for when hiring a real estate professional.

1. Updated credentials: Typically, an agent starts as a Realtor. Then they can get further credentials, like a relocation certification to help people move nationwide. Agents might also be VA reps, meaning they have a lot of experience helping veterans move and navigate the VA loan process.
   
   
   
2. Full-time versus part-time employment: You need a full-time agent. An agent who is working two or more jobs won’t have time to meet with vendors, go to showings, or look for homes for you. Full-time agents will be there whenever you need them, and they are working hard behind the scenes to make sure you have a successful transaction. 
3. Testimonials and reviews: You can simply click here to read testimonials about how I conduct my business. You should look for reviews from past clients, vendors, and other agents to get a clear idea of what it will be like to work with that agent.
