#2 Communication: It is crucial that your Realtor be able to communicate clearly and effectively throughout your home buying process. Make sure your intended agent answers questions directly, and takes time to help you understand.

#3 Ethics: You need a Realtor that will be honest with you at all times and will inform you of issues that may have a negative impact after closing. It is difficult to judge ethics, so go with your gut and check references.
