[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never sold a house before and could use some tried and true tips for choosing an agent.
I have called some recommended people, but I am already overwhelmed: do I need to sign an agreement immediately? I thought I would have two different agents to the property, look around and get their general feedback before chosing one. Is that kosher?

Any other tips?[/quote]

Totally Kosher.  And get three agents.  Three recommended agents, if you can.  Then choose from a group of three that offer you the most of what you want, and who gel with you.  Be honest with them about your needs, so they can work with you (or not).

We found that there were differences in what people had to offer, what was rolled up into their price, and even what they were willing to negotiate on.  Two people clearly rose to the top.  Then from those two, we picked the one with the most appealing plan and pricing.

You can negotiate their % commission, btw, particularly if they bring in the buyer.
