A direct answer
Before hiring a real estate agent in the San Gabriel Valley, ask about experience, license, specialties, communication, marketing, and references. The answers reveal whether an agent has the local knowledge and the process to protect your interests.
About experience and credentials
How many years have you worked in this area? How many homes have you sold here? What is your license number and brokerage? For example, Hector Aguilar is a licensed California Realtor (DRE #01257668) with more than 30 years of experience and specialized certifications in probate and divorce-related sales.
About specialties
Do you handle first-time buyers, probate and trust sales, divorce-related sales, or relocation? If your situation is complex, you want an agent who has done it before, not one learning on your transaction.
About communication
How often will I hear from you, and through what channel? Who will I actually work with day to day? The best agents keep you updated the whole way and never make you feel like a number.
About marketing and pricing
How will you price my home, and what is your marketing plan? Ask for recent examples of comparable homes the agent has sold and how long those took.
About fees and references
What is your commission structure, and what services are included? Ask for references from recent clients, and read the reviews on their public profiles.
