EXPERT ADVICE: HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT REAL STATE AGENT “For home sellers in today's market, finding the right real estate agent to list your home could help you attain the highest possible listing price," said Van Davis, President of Brokerage Operations for ZipRealty. "The Internet is a great place to start informing yourself about agent qualifications and expertise. Many tools are available online, including agent ratings and reviews. It's important to find an agent you are comfortable talking with, who can work with your schedule and is responsive to your needs. Scheduling a few interviews to make your final selection is also an excellent idea," he added. "Online exposure of your home is critical.
