Ask your agent how well they know they area, and how long they have worked in the area.

Experience and education may be the most important factors when choosing your Real Estate agent.

It might be a good idea to ask your agent for qualifications.

If an agent is not extremely organized, and have good communications skills, there may be a problem. If an agent does not return phone calls, emails, or respond in a timely manner to your requests, this may be an indication that they lack the communication skills needed to represent your best interests.
