• Although there are a lot of highly qualified
  Tustin real estate agents, there may be some you
  would really want to avoid. Find out how long the
  agent has been in the business. Even if the
  salesperson has been in business only a few
  years, the office should have been around a long
  time. Try to do business only with an agent or
  office that has a long track record of five years
  at the least. Work with a national franchise.
  While this is no guarantee youll get an active
  agent, it does give you some assurance of at
  least minimal quality in terms of procedures.

• Bona Fide Realtor or not?
• If the agent becomes truly incompetent and
  negligent, you can always appeal to the national
  office of the chain. Ask to see the agents real
  estate license. In all states, agents must be
  licensed and that license must be prominently
  displayed in their office. Theyll be pleased to
  show it to you. Ask if the agent is a bona fide
  Tustin Realtor. This is a member of the National
  Association of Realtors (NAR), which helps
  educate agents and promotes better business
  practices. Ask for recommendations. Call people
  the agent has dealt with in the past. See what
  they say. Ask if they would deal with this agent
  again.

• Check the Firms Legitimacy
• Check with the local better business bureau or
  (in an extreme case) the local district
  attorneys office to see if there are now pending
  or have ever been any complaints against the
  agent or the office. Call the state real estate
  department and ask if the agents license has
  ever been revoked or suspended or if the agent
  has ever been disciplined. This is public
  information to which you are entitled. Quite
  frankly, few buyers will ever take these last two
  steps as most real estate companies in Orange
  County are really trustworthy. But theres little
  harm in being sure.

• Dont Judge by Appearance
• In most cases, we tend to accept a friendly smile
  and a solid handshake as evidence of competency
  and honesty. In most cases, things work out just
  ?ne. Remember, however, you are now considering
  those very few bad apples. The worst thing that
  you can do is to ?nd out youve been dealing with
  a bad agent after something has happenedafter
  youve made an offer that has somehow gone awry
  and has resulted in a money loss to you or the
  threat of a lawsuit from the seller or some other
  injured party. A few calls can suddenly tell you
  that this agent has been in hot water since he
  got his license.

• Do a Background Check
• Many states have recovery funds. If you have been
  damaged by an agents actions, you may be able to
  recover at least a portion of the damages from
  the fund. Check with your states department of
  real estate. Remember, it takes only one or two
  phone calls and perhaps fifteen minutes of time
  talking to the right people to get a minimal
  background check on the person who is going to
  advise you on what is probably the biggest
  investment youll make in your life. It will give
  you positive proof and its a very good start
  when you are looking for Tustin top agents.
