The simple answer is there is no necessity to choose a real estate agent, to purchase a real estate property unless you have had good dealings with a real estate through your own personal dealings, families or friends.
The real estate property you eventually buy may even be from a real estate agent you may not even know about, yet.
Some Real Estate agents are under 'time pressure' to talk to you, and sell the property, unless they see and feel that your are the interested buyer. This depends on the questions you ask and the interest you show.
My experience in buying properties is limited: 50 percent actually searching for a property via any real estate agent and 50 per cent knowing which property to purchase and the agent came with it!
You're probably thinking what does that mean? Well all I can say is our first property purchased (my wife and myself), we had to search and look for properties and the real estate agent drove us to the property to have a look at and it was purchased.
The second and third properties, we had seen ourselves as they were around our vicinity all the agent had to do was show us.
The recent one we have purchased, was like the first one we purchased, we had to search and look around until we were happy, the agent that we had purchased the recent property, had the time, patience and allowed genuine 'thinking time' as we thought about deciding to purchase. This was a great feeling that I had never experienced as real estate is the most important purchase in any one's life! The reason I found out is she is a 'one-woman real estate business' so she is not pressured for time!
Next question is do you trust the agent or go by your first house inspection or even both?
