Selecting a Realtor
One thing to consider in selecting a Real Estate Agent is whether the person is a Realtor. Not all agents are Realtors. Realtors must operate within the guidelines of the Realtor Code of Ethics http://www.realtor.org/mempolweb.nsf/pages/code
Also remember that while the most active Realtor may be most experienced in a variety of transaction types due to the actual volume of business they do, they may not be able to give you personalized one on one services. If this level of personalized service is important to you, selecting a less busy Realtor or one that operates exclusively by referral, may be just what you need to feel confident that all of your questions will be answered by the Realtor handling your transaction rather than an assistant or associate. Often the most active (in terms of transactions completed) Realtor can be very busy and works with a team of professional Realtors who assist in working the transactions to completion.
