Hi,
So over the weekend I met up with a couple realtors. I wanted to get an idea of how people usually screen their realtors and what`s the proper "etiquette"? Usually I would start with referrals from family/friends/REIN so I`m not starting off completely blind
- Do you usually have planning/consultation session first or do you jump straight into viewing listings?
- What kind of questions would you usually ask to get to know them? (i.e. whether they have investment properties, what they define as cash flow, REIN members only?)
And with the etiquette,
- If you are in the process of screening realtors, do you usually let them know that you`re still "seeing" other people too? (Kind of like dating?
)
- At what point do you usually sign the buyer`s agent agreement?
- If at a certain point you no longer want to work with the agent - what do you do then to get out of it without burning bridges/the relationship?
Thanks
Chris
