Red flags to avoid
Warning signs that an agent may not be working in your best interest.
Watch for agents who pressure you to see only their own listings, rush you toward an offer before you feel ready, brush off your questions, or seem more interested in closing quickly than in finding the right home for you. Trust your gut. The right agent makes you feel more confident as you go, not more anxious.
