You will need to make sure that the company and the agent that you chose has experience. Two separate agents tasked with the same job can have two vastly different outcomes.

An experienced agent knows the area, inventory, and which properties are sellable and which properties are a complete waste of time.

An inexperienced agent will end up showing you properties that do not meet your needs, have bad title or liens, or for a number of reasons cannot be sold. Resulting in a lot of wasted time and money on your part.

Experienced agents know every inch of the neighborhood or city where you want to purchase and can help you avoid pitfalls and steer you to the property that will best meet your needs and budget.

One of the most important things to consider is how well you can communicate with the agent that you decide on because it is so important that you work as a team to get your desired results.  Working with an agent that you can talk openly with, can save you tens of thousands of dollars when it comes time to negotiate your transaction in the most favorable way for you. You should expect them to ask you pre-qualification questions so that they will know what you want and what you can afford.

Baja123.com teaches our agents that they have two ears and one mouth and it is important that they listen twice as much as they speak.

Good agents will know the right questions to ask you in order to put the right properties in front of you. If your agent is not asking key qualifying questions you might want to be concerned that their objective is to sell you what they want you to buy and not what you want to buy.
