REAL ESTATE VIDEO SERIES – EPISODE 6 SEARCHING FOR AN AGENT ON ZILLOW

It’s intriguing to me to learn how people select their real estate agent, so it’s a question I ask frequently. Getting a referral from a friend or family member is a great way to choose an agent. On the other hand, if your cousin who lives in NJ recently got their PA license, you might not be hiring the most qualified agent to fit your needs.

This is where 3rd party websites like Zillow can be helpful. If you’re debating between 2 different agents, you can use a site like Zillow to research each agent and get unbiased reviews, sales activity, and current listings, to see how active each agent is in your local market. You can go to Zillow.com, click on Agent Finder, and type in the zip code for your target market. You’ll see agents listed by activity level, you can read reviews and you can even click through to that agent’s website or Facebook page to learn even more about them. This is most likely one of the biggest financial transactions you’ll make in your life, and you owe it to yourself to find the right fit, especially in today’s very competitive real estate market. Best of luck in your real estate transaction, and always remember, who you work with matters.
