Hi all,
My wife and I are thinking of buying a first house in the next year or so. We'd like to at least pick out a real estate agent. Having never done this before, I come to you, the amazing MMM community for advice.
1.) Aside from word-of-mouth, how would you advise finding the right real estate agent?
2.) Is it necessary to focus on someone who specializes in my town? For example, I'm looking at a specific Boston suburb, so should I deal with some who works only that town? Or, at least, should a minimum amount of their work come from that town?
3.) What are the best questions to get a sense if I should pick this person as my agent?
I've googled all these things, but I value your answers very much.
