Red flags to watch for
A great pitch isn't the same as a great agent.
An inflated price quote
Some agents quote high to win the listing, then condition you down. Ask for the sales behind any estimate.
Pressure to sign now
A good agent gives you time to compare. Being pushed to sign on the spot is a reason to slow down.
Vague fees or marketing
If commission or costs are hand-waved, get them in writing before you go further.
The vibe check
The most underrated question in the whole process: is this someone you can work with?
You'll be talking to this person for weeks, about the biggest asset you own. A good partnership matters as much as a good fee. Do they listen? Do they feel like part of your team?
That's where Real Easy will help. We're building a way to feel out the market, the numbers and the agents themselves, before anyone gets your details and starts selling to you. You control who you meet and when, and you walk in informed.
