When Buying a House, Is It Usually Cheaper to Go Directly Through the Listing Agent?

How would you interview perspective real estate agents to sell your home? What questions would you a
This is a great question because most sellers just go with the first agent they meet with. The first thing I would do is Google them before I ever meet with them. Look at their website. Is it professional? Look them up on Zillow, Realtor.com, Yelp, etc. to see what people have said about working with them. If they pass step 1, speak with them and ask them to email you some of their current and past listings. Are they complete and full of details? Informative? Do they use lots
