What are the red flags when choosing a real estate agent?

Red flags when choosing a real estate agent include vague or evasive answers about recent closed sales, pressure to sign an agreement before you have seen any comparable data, and reluctance to explain how they arrived at a suggested price. An agent unfamiliar with your specific town or street is also a warning sign, since pricing knowledge does not transfer evenly across a region. Brian Beatty encourages buyers and sellers to ask these exact questions of any agent, himself included, before signing anything.
