10 tips for choosing a real estate agent
The time has come to put your house or apartment up for sale or rent, either because you move to a larger or smaller space (as the case may be) within the same city where you live but you do not have time to make appointments and present the home, or you move to another city or country. Lamudi, the leading real estate portal in Mexico, presents you 10 tips for choosing a real estate agent.
1. Ask friends or acquaintances for recommendations
If you know of someone who recently listed or rented a property through a real estate agent, ask them for information. If you are satisfied with the real estate agent who worked with you, it is a good indicator.
2. Avoid turning to family or friends
We often rely on family or friends to obtain certain products and services at a cheaper price, driven by the trust we have in these people. However, it is better to go to an expert on the subject.
3. Review your marketing plan
The real estate agent that best suits you is the one with the best marketing plan that fits your budget and the characteristics of the property (condition, location, age). Check where and how your property will be advertised.

4. Check if it is up to date
With the rapid growth of the internet and the sale of real estate through this medium, it is very important that your real estate agent knows the latest about this channel, and advertises your property on online real estate portals such as Lamudi.
5. Interview him thoroughly
When meeting the real estate agent, don't expect a casual chat. Go prepared as if it were a job interview and ask him all the possible questions, to know his experience and his way of working.
6. Request references
Ask the agents you are interviewing for a list of the clients they have worked with in the last six months. Contact them and ask them for information about how the agent works and whether or not they are satisfied with it.
7. Not all that glitters is gold
choose a real estate agent
Be careful about selecting a real estate agent who charges few fees or commissions, as the agent must cover various expenses such as advertising. Don't go for the agent who values your home with the highest price, either.
8. Inquire about their negotiation skills
When you interview the real estate agent, to get an idea of his negotiating skills, see how he handles the issue of fees and commissions. With this you will realize how your house will sell or rent in the future.
9. Beware of the temporary nature of the contract
Choose a trial period of three months in the contract you enter into with the real estate agent. If you are not satisfied with its performance, you will have more flexibility to change it.
10. Franchise agents
Although it is not a guarantee of a resounding success, that a real estate agent belongs to a franchise or real estate agency guarantees quality standards and customer service.
