I really like this set of questions, Ed. They’re easy for the homeowner to understand and ask. There are so many changes in real estate since we bought our home in 1992, we wouldn’t know where to begin to “interview” an agent now. I know we wish we had these questions to ask back then. Keep up the great work!
