Key Questions from our Checklist:
- Neighborhood Expertise: Ask for details of their recent sales in your specific micro-neighborhood. Broad city statistics do not protect your interests.
- Rebate Alignment: Ask if they are willing to put their commission rebate terms and representation length in writing from day one. Verbal promises are non-binding.
- Responsibility for Cooperating Differentials: Ask if you will be responsible for paying commission out of pocket if the seller's cooperating commission is lower than their minimum. Check for Bra fine-print clauses.
