There are many real estate agents to choose from in just about every town. With all of the advertising on billboards, television and even in your mailbox, it is up to you to sort through the messages to make the right selection. Who will be able to anticipate your needs? Who is best suited represent your interests during the process? Who will work with you to navigate through real estate, financial and legal decisions when purchasing or refinancing your home?
