9 Things to Ask Before Hiring a Real Estate Agent

Whether you're buying or selling, here's what to ask an agent before saying "you're hired."

Whether you're buying or selling, there are a few key questions to ask an agent before saying, "You're hired." Before hiring a real estate agent, make sure to ask these questions:
無論你是將要購屋或賣屋,再雇用仲介前,有些主要的問題應該先詢問仲介,記得要確認問了這些問題:
1. How long have you been in the real estate business?
How long has this person been on the job (look for upward of a year), and were they full or part time? While experience is no guarantee of skill, real estate, like many other professions, is mostly learned on the job.
1.你做仲介這一行多久了?
這個仲介在這一行做了多久以及全職或是兼職?
雖然經驗不是技巧的品質保證,但是,仲介業跟其他的專業一樣,主要是在工作中學習。
2. Are you a member of the National Association of Realtors? This organization requires certain standards from its members, and you don't want to worry about having a shady agent.
2.你是全國仲介協會的成員嗎?
這個組織要求成員某些標準,如此一來你不用呆新找到一個不可靠的公司。

3. Are you a member of MLS?
This is the Multiple Listing Service, which gives agents access to houses represented by all agencies -- not just their own. For sellers, this means your home will be posted on the list as well, which means more people will see it.
3.你是MLS的成員嗎?
這個Muitlple Listing Service(複合式服務),讓仲介公司有權進入所有仲介公司的房屋,不只有自己仲介的房屋。對賣屋而言,這表示你的房屋也會被刊登在這些目錄裡,讓更多人看得見。
4. Do you work on weekends? Since this is when most open houses take place, the answer to this should be yes.
4.你們在周末時上班嗎?
既然大部分open house(不需預約,開放參觀的房子)都在周末,這個答案應該是肯定的
5. Can you outline how you would represent us?
The answer should include your housing inspections, following through with your mortgage approval process, and being present at your closing.
5.你可以大概描述你會怎麼呈現給我們?
這個答案應該包含房屋的檢查,接著還有貸款的過程還有結案過程
6. Will you show me houses listed by other companies?
Double-check that the agent isn't partial to his or her own realty group.
6.你會給我們看其他公司的房子嗎?
再次確認這個代銷不是只有在他們自己的仲介範圍
7. Are you familiar with our area?
You'll want the agent to know the ins and outs of your community.
7.你對我們的環境熟悉嗎?
你會要你的仲介知道這個社區的優點及缺點

8. How many homes have you sold?
If you're in the market to sell, find out how many homes they successfully sold last year. While those numbers may be low due to market activity over the past six months, it’s a good way to compare candidates.
8.你們銷售了多少房屋?
如果你在賣屋市場,找出他們去年成功銷售了多少房屋.雖然這個數字可能因為市場動向而低,但是這是一個比較的方式
9. What's your business style?
Do you want a broker who calls you once a week or emails daily? Find out how the agent will keep you updated on prospects and inform them about your preferences.
9.你們經營模式如何?
你希望仲介一周打電話給你一次還是每天寫email?了解仲介如何更新給你的資訊還有也讓他們了解你希望的方式
