Remember that this is the person who will be helping you negotiate a very large purchase or preparing marketing materials to help you sell your most expensive asset. Read the letter carefully and critically. You want someone who has a good grasp of the English language; someone who can express their thoughts in coherent sentences and persuade you to act. If they cannot persuade you, how can you expect them to persuade others when they act as your representative? .-= Geoff@San Diego Real Estate´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.sdrealtypros.com/article/old-poway-fourth-july/" rel="nofollow">Old Poway July 4th In San Diego</a> =-.

I've been looking and recently chatted online with an agent who has only been an agent for 3 years. Should I look somewhere else? I've heard seasoned agents have connections & can get better deals.

Accessibility is a huge issue here in Las Vegas. Quite a lot of the REO agents don't work weekends and don't even answer their phone after 5 pm. Very frustrating when you're forced to deal with someone that isn't available. .-= Charles@Las Vegas Real Estate´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.lvrealty.net/news/las-vegas-housing-market" rel="nofollow">Las Vegas Housing Market: Foreclosures Down, Sales Up</a> =-.

The agents I know told me it's a subject they tread very carefully with clients that believe they're interior experts.
