For any real estate investment, you need to be careful and constantly analyze prices, types of housing, locations, among other aspects. And since you’ll have the guidance of a real estate agent, there are certain questions you should ask to be confident in your decision.

Having security and confidence in a business like real estate investment is important to avoid mistakes and protect your future and your family’s. That’s why, when starting the process of acquiring a property, ask your agent questions like: how long have you been working in the field? or how many clients have you worked with?

It’s advisable to know their experience

Be interested in the advisor and their experience in real estate, so you’ll know if they’re the right one. You can ask if they’re a part-time or full-time agent, if they’ve worked with both buyers and sellers, if they’re independent or part of a team.

Other questions include how many houses they sold last year, which areas they usually work in, how they market a property, what the price range is of the homes they’ve sold, and don’t forget to ask how much they’ll charge you.

Clear up your questions about the property

Just as the agent’s performance matters, it’s also vital to know everything about the property or development you’re interested in. Ask what the property’s highlights are, what the development’s future outlook is, what stage it’s in, what services it has, and how safe the location is.

Also ask about the type of construction, if walls are shared, if the property can be modified after purchase, and what expenses you’ll need to cover for taxes, deeds, and more.

Other aspects you should ask about are how often you’ll be in contact and up to what stage of the buying process they’ll accompany you. Ask how communication works in their plan and decide if it fits your needs.
