Look for real estate agent office/signs in the area you are looking to buy in.

What services do they offer Buyers (Before/During/After the Sale).

What experience do they have in the area you are looking at.

Ask how long are Homes on the market in the area you are looking into.

Do they have any other Certifications other than Real Estate Agent, what services does thier office provide.

Do they charge a Fee. (Only the Seller will be paying any Agent Fees).
