How to choose

How to choose a real estate agent in Metro Detroit

  • Check the license. Look up any Michigan real estate salesperson or broker on the state's license verification tool from LARA.
  • Ask about recent local deals. Ask how many homes they helped buy or sell in your target area in the past year, and at what price range.
  • Ask how they get paid. Commission and fees are negotiable. Get the terms in writing before you sign any agreement.
  • Test their local knowledge. A good local agent can speak to neighborhood differences, older home issues, city inspections and property taxes.
  • Ask for their team. Strong agents can recommend home inspectors, lenders and title companies, but you never cost anything to choose your own.
  • Interview two or three. Compare communication style, availability and plan before you commit.
