When you decide to buy or sell a home it is important to choose the right realtor for you. Just because you get a flyer in the mail from an agent so frequently, doesn't mean that agent is the best agent for YOU. When you plan your wedding you interview photographers, planners, etc. A wedding is a huge expense and the beginning of a new chapter in your life. So too, is buying or selling your home. So making sure you have the right real estate agent for you is extremely important. Sadly, as in any industry, there are real estate agents that may not be doing the job quite right, or ethically, or keeping your best interest at heart. 

Below is an e-mail from a client of mine where she lays out her experience with a realtor she used, before she met me, and then her experience with me as her realtor. I hope you find this information helpful. I always appreciate the opportunity to work with people and will always put your needs, desires and requirements first.
