A guided interview companion
Don't hire the first agent who answers the phone.
Most people interview exactly one real estate agent — then sign a months-long contract with them. RealtorReady walks you through the whole process step by step, builds an interview list tailored to your market, and keeps your notes in one place.
Why the interview matters
It's the largest fee you'll ever negotiate
Commission on a median-priced home runs into the tens of thousands. It is negotiable, and the only way to learn that is to ask more than one person.
Local knowledge isn't transferable
An agent who dominates downtown condos may be lost on ten acres with a well and septic. The right fit depends on where and what you're trading.
You're signing a real contract
Listing agreements and buyer agency agreements bind you for months. Interviewing is your chance to understand every clause before you initial it.
Chemistry decides how the hard days go
You'll talk to this person during the most stressful weeks of the year. Responsiveness and candor matter as much as a sales record.
