Whether you're looking for a luxury lake home, a cabin getaway up north, a family home or just a vacant piece of property, you want a real estate agent who knows the Walker, Hackensack, Akeley, Laporte and greater lakes area of Minnesota.  As a person who grew up fishing the lakes and riding the trails of our area I have the knowledge to help you find the real estate property that fits your needs.

So how do you know if you're working with a dedicated and professional agent?

Interviewing potential agents can be a frustrating and seemingly daunting task.  Deciding what to ask and trying to determine which person gives you the greatest chance of a smooth and successful transaction can be confusing at the best of times. 

   Listed below are some questions you may want to consider adding to your interview process.

   A good agent should have intelligent answers to all of the following;

      Will you be working for me Part-time or Full-time? 

      How successful is your office in the area? 

      What percentage of your listings actually sell? 

      What kind of advertising do you do?  Can I see some samples? 

      How do you attract buyers from outside the local market? 

      How often and in what manner will I be kept informed? 

      Do you have a staff to help with the details?

So, do you think those questions would make most agents stumble or feel uncomfortable?  A qualified and professional Realtor should be prepared and capable of giving you the information you want to know!
