There are over 1 million licensed real estate agents in the United States. And the truth is that many of them are not good at all.

One of the goals behind Housia is to help home buyers and sellers to get a better experience. And at the center is the choice of the agent handling your transaction.

Do not pick an agent at random or based on "someone that your buddy Dave knows". Probably one of the most overlooked aspects of picking an agent is to ask for references from her or his most recent clients.

A really good agent should have no problem giving you references from his or her three most recent transactions. Make those calls. Talk to the people that have used the agent before.

If the agent does not want to give you any references... then choose someone else. You will be glad that you did.

Best,
Ola
