How to Hire a Real Estate Pro in Erie

Use this interactive checklist to ensure you hire the right real estate professional. Check off each item as you vet candidates.

0 of 12 completed0%

Check through the PA Real Estate Commission at the Department of State website.

1

An agent who specializes in Erie County understands neighborhood values, school districts, and market trends.

2

Ask how many homes they have sold in the past 12 months and their average days on market.

3

Typical commission is 5-6% split between buyer and seller agents. Negotiate terms that work for your situation.

4

Professional photography, virtual tours, and MLS syndication are minimum expectations. Ask about their social media reach.

5

Google, Zillow, and Realtor.com reviews from past clients reveal communication style and effectiveness.

6

Good agents have relationships with inspectors, lenders, title companies, and contractors.

7

Ask how they prefer to communicate and how quickly they respond. Responsiveness matters in competitive markets.

8

PA law requires agents to disclose if they represent both buyer and seller. Understand the implications.

9

A CMA helps you understand your home's value relative to recent sales and current competition.

10

Full-time agents are typically more available and responsive than part-time agents with other careers.

11

Understand the contract length, commission, cancellation terms, and exclusivity before signing.
