Just like other cities across Minnesota you’ll find many Realtors in Rockford MN, but how do you know which to call?  Rockford Realtor, Derrick Monroe, has a few things to consider.

It’s tough to find a Realtor. The process is time consuming. Most sites are full of ads agents pay for to get front and center. Zillow, Agent Finder, and Homelight are amongst the top ones to do this. Not necessarily agents with the most local knowledge or experience pop up. If you find yourself on these sites look deeper into the profiles to see where the agents actually do business. 

Let’s think about Rockford Minnesota, a smaller town of  5,000 people yet there are 4 billboards in town for agents. In today’s market there are over 2 million licensed Realtors and 25,000 in Minnesota alone.

You need to narrow your search down from thousands of real estate agents to one individual who specializes in Rockford, has great statistics. Whether it’s selling a single family home in Hurst Woods, or a Townhouse in Boulder Ridge, you need and deserve the best Realtor in Rockford.

Here are some suggestions to find the best Realtors in Rockford MN and other cities:

• Look on social media, who do you see talking about real estate in your area?
• Who do you consistently see around town working and contributing?

The problem with asking on social media is that everyone just recommends their friends. As nice as that is, more often than not these are agents that have never sold a home in your area.

Questions To Ask A Realtor

Once you find an agent or two to interview here are some great questions to ask:

1. How long have you been in the business? Experience matters.
2. Are you full time or part time? You want a full time agent.
3. How do you market homes on social media?
4. What is your process for communication?
