Choosing a realtor is like any other partnership: you want to choose someone with whom you share common ground. Indeed, since you’ll be collaborating throughout the home search and closing phases of your move, it pays to seek someone who compliments you, your style, and perhaps even your personal interests.

Several agents have appeared on recent, top-tier realty lists generated by the city’s newspapers and magazines. Other realtors have significant followings of satisfied former clients responsible for strong, word-of-mouth endorsements.
