It’s a formality but always ask. |\n| Has anyone ever filed a complaint against you with the provincial regulator? |  | This is an awkward question, but agents will never volunteer the information if you don’t ask. |\n| How is the market in my neighbourhood? |  | You want them to tell you if it is a buyer’s market, balanced market, or seller’s market for your property type. The condo market can be a seller’s market (i.e. , seller advantage) while the market for houses is in a buyer’s market. |\n| What is your strategy for finding the best property for us? |  | What is their approach for narrowing down the search? |\n| We’ve written down our requirements. What concerns do you have? |  | You’re testing for transparency, straightforward communication, and insightful advice. The agent should highlight potential tradeoffs. |\n| Condo question: What do you typically look for in the condo board meeting minutes and reports? |  | You’re testing for quality. For example, are they using a friend or are they using their current photographer because of their professional results? |\n| How many homes did you help someone buy or sell in this neighbourhood last year? |  | Ideally, the number is between 4 and 12. If they are a high volume seller then likely they need to sell your home quickly and are more interested in collecting the commission then finding you a buyer willing to pay an extra ten thousand. |\n| What do you do to prepare before proposing a viewing to me? Do you typically provide a list of properties you disqualified and are not recommending I view? |  | Do they view a home themselves before recommending it to you? Do they review condo board minutes prior to suggesting you view the property? How well does the home match your\u003Cbr>requirements? |\n\n\n| Question | Agent Answer | Advice |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| What do you do to prepare for bringing me to open houses? Is there anything you’d like me to do in preparation for open houses? |  | What due diligence have they done? Do they provide any analysis that helps you more easily compare the different properties you’ll view. |\n| When there are multiple offers, other than raising the price, what do you like to do to increase the chance of winning? |  | You want to know that they have a concept of the factors, other than price, that sellers consider inan offer. |\n| Please provide me with two references with whom I can speak on the phone. | Name\u003Cbr>Phone:\u003Cbr>Address of Property Bought:\u003Cbr>Name\u003Cbr>Phone:\u003Cbr>Address of Property Bought: | You can ask them if they would use the agent again and if they felt they got fair value for their home. |\n| Add your own question: |  |  |\n| Add your own question: |  |  |\n| Add your own question: |  |  |","cbCaih5cL8UlBP82","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaih5cL8UlBP82","pdf",123351,"English","# Interview Questions\n## Licensing and Market Context\n## Strategy, Transparency, and Condo Research\n## Track Record, References, and Offer Tactics","[{\"question\":\"What should I ask about an agent’s licensing and regulatory history?\",\"answer\":\"Ask whether they are currently licensed in the province and whether any complaint has ever been filed against them with the provincial regulator.
