I was talking with an internet prospect the other day who said that she had a Realtor who a friend of a friend of her son had recommended. I could hear the disappointment in her voice and told her that there is a better criteria for choosing a Realtor. After I told her about my years of experience and expertise in the area, I now have a new Buyer Client. We cannot be shy about our value. Good information, Marc.

A seller needs to explore his options and not "settle". These are some great guidelines to follow. I like your tip list. A seller needs to explore his options and not “settle”.

I think more folks should know that all licensed real estate agents are not Realtors ..Realtors® are sworn to a Code of Ethics to uphold and it becomes a part of their personal integrity.

You talk about overload. I went on a home tour for agents where one of the mega realtors got lost finding her own listing and I live in a fairly small town. You talk about overload.

I would rather have someone work with a newer, but smart, hard working and determined than a mega-agent. Sometimes I think the mega's time can become diluted. I couldn’t agree more with #4.

I would possibly add or ask for their average days on the market compared to their competitorsto truly see if they have an advantage or are better. Also it would be nice if the realtor provided examples or already had rough drafts of the amrketing materials they were going to use on the home for sale. Just my 2 cents. :) <a href="http://www.sacramentoproperty-management.com" rel="nofollow">Sacramento Property management</a> Very good list of things to consider.

Your comments on finding a good Realtor apply also to those serving the buyer's market. Related to the listing presentation, I am blessed to work for a company (Sky Realty) that believes in training its agents to use the internet to build our businesses. Part of what we learn is how to market our listings so they can be found by potential buyers. You are also correct about the costs associated with being a Realtor.

May I add that discount brokerages only work in a “Sellers” market and we are definitely not in that cycle. Buyer’s Agents tend to look at commission structures prior to showing homes to a prospective Buyer and will generally avoid discounted commissioned listings if possible. In today’s market, Agents for both the Buyer and Seller work extremely hard for their clients and commissions IMHO. ~Mack You have made several good points Marc.
