How to choose a real estate agency in Chicago
- Confirm the agent's license with your state real estate commission, and ask whether they are a licensed agent or a broker, since responsibilities and supervision differ.
- Ask how many transactions they handled recently in your neighborhood and price range. Local knowledge shapes pricing advice and negotiating strategy.
- Read the listing or buyer representation agreement carefully, including the commission, the contract length, and what happens if you want to end it early.
- Watch for agents who only tell you what you want to hear, such as an inflated list price. Ask them to justify pricing with recent comparable sales.
