We also recommend asking about their experience with the specific property types in your area and their track record with properties in your price range.

Ask what is included in their fee, such as professional photography, virtual tours, and dedicated staff to handle viewings and inquiries.

Once your property is on the market, regularly review your agent's performance in terms of viewings, feedback, and any offers received. Maintain open communication with your agent and request constructive feedback after each viewing.
