Real estate agents have a variety of backgrounds and personalities. How do you choose an agent that will serve you well?
If you are a seller, you most likely want to get the highest price for your property within a given time frame, want access to qualified buyers who are serious about buying, need tips to make your home more marketable and require help in developing and implementing a successful marketing plan.
