Communicating With Your Real Estate Agent

When we started looking for a house, I realized that brokering my own deal was going to be difficult. However, I realized that things might be a lot easier if I could find a great real estate agent. We looked high and low, and we finally found an agent who we felt comfortable working with.

My blog is about how to communicate properly with your real estate agent, so that you have as good of an experience as we did.
