Your REALTOR For Life
Let your agent know what you expect.
It's up to you to tell your agent what you want and how you want to be involved in the home search and/or home selling process. Some buyers prefer their agents to handpick properties for their consideration; others want to receive the hotsheets on a daily basis so they can comb through the new listings themselves. You should listen to your Realtor's advice, but always remember that you're the boss. And speaking of bosses, it's a good idea for ALL decision-makers to visit the properties your Realtor shows you.
