Hiring a real estate agent in Baltimore can be frustrating. So what are the steps on how to find a good real estate agent in Baltimore?

Many local large real estate brokers will spend thousands of dollars each month to ensure that their agents are the most visible, whether it be online, in the Yellow Pages, or by erecting giant billboards in the most trafficked sections of Baltimore.

However, the agents backed by the most promotion dollars aren’t always the best, and may not be a good fit for your circumstances. In today’s piece, we’re going to look at how you can find a good real estate agent in Baltimore.

How To Find A Good Real Estate Agent In Baltimore – Get Reviews… Real Reviews

Online reviews of real estate agents are easily manipulated, and can be often times little more than paid advertisements. It’s important to get honest reviews from any agent that you’re considering, and any reputable agent will be glad to provide you with recent clients.

Also, reviews are one of the best ways to see how any real estate professional does out in the marketplace.

As a last way to check out the agent… hit Google and type in "[name of agent] reviews" and see what pops up in the Google search. If you see a bunch of bad reviews on websites like yelp and others… see if the agent tried to engage with those negative reviewers online to resolve the situation.

Ask the Right Questions Of The Local Baltimore Real Estate Agent

Ask the agent (or better yet, his or her former clients) the following questions to gauge the agent’s skill, and ability to represent you as a buyer or a seller:

  • Was there any part of the process of buying or selling a home that clients were pleased or particularly displeased with?
  • What was the asking price?
  • What was the sales price?
  • What properties have you worked with in my location?
  • What about similarly sized properties?

It’s important to choose an agent who has experience working with homes similar to yours.
