Find a Reputable Real Estate Broker

• Talk with their most recent clients to check their performance. You can ask for a list of the properties they have listed and sold in the past year with contact information of their clients.
• Look up their licensing and find out if there have been any disciplinary actions or complaints.
• Research how long they have been in business. You are looking for an agent who is actively involved in your chosen area and have strong market presence.

 
Check the Water Supply in Your Chosen Area

Hire a Lawyer
