Buying and selling a home are multifaceted processes that often are made much easier with the help of a qualified real estate professional. Indeed, the complexity of a housing transaction inspires the vast majority of buyers and sellers to seek expert assistance. Data from the National Association of Realtors 2025 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers indicates that 88 percent of buyers and 91 percent of sellers use a real estate agent to facilitate their transactions. However, one must first navigate the vast landscape of licensed professionals, and selection of the right professional is crucial. Here’s how to do just that. Seek personal referrals. One of the first places to start is with friends, neighbors or family members. Housingwire says about 40 percent of people find their agents through a referral. A personal referral typically offers insight about real estate pros that can inform if the person is communicative and reliable. Superior negotiation skills also might be best advertised by former clients than online profiles. Prioritize experience. A professional’s level of experience is important. The market often is saturated with part-time or inexperienced intermediaries because the industry typically has low barriers to entry

and relies on fixed commission structures. Although there are some anomalies, veteran real estate pros who have been active for many years tend to close sales more successfully than novices. HomeLight data suggests top-performing professionals can sell homes for up to 10 percent more than average. Look through online platforms. Rely on platforms like Zillow, Realtor.com and others to review sales history, specialties and client feedback. Also read online biographies to narrow down prospects who seem like they will be the right fit. Prepare questions. It’s wise to interview a couple of professionals before settling on one. The NAR urges individuals to prioritize experience, honesty and trustworthiness. When interviewing, ask about current client load, marketing strategies, experience, and how a professional handles challenges like bidding wars or low inventory. Pay attention to details to determine if a pro has a handle on local market knowledge, including current trends. Trust your instincts. Sometimes buyers and sellers ultimately go with what their gut is telling them. If a professional gives off the right vibes and seems to gel with your style and goals, then that may be the individual for you.
