Well, the first thing that you should check out is their competence and skills. So when you meet a broker for the first time, you need to ask them the following questions.

• How will you inform the prospective buyers about the property? : The answer will give you an idea about how the broker will market your property. Visit the property sites and check out his present listings. These websites can help you a lot to market your properties. Also, the agent you are choosing should have a proper understanding of this online platform. Ask him to show his previous marketing strategies. Have a look at the way he has advertised the other properties. This is an important strategy if you are putting up your houses for sale.
  
  
• What experience do you have in selling similar properties in that particular locality?: A broker who has had experience selling similar properties to other buyers will always be in a good position to advertise your properties and it can also bring more prospective buyers to your property. He should be able to figure out the clients who are searching for houses for sale. He should have enough experience from his previous transactions. An experienced broker should be able to find out the right client base.
  
  
• What will I need to do? : This answer will differ from one agent to the other. There are some agents that will ask you to give all the documents beforehand in order to validate the title and proprietorship. Some may advise you to fix up the damages and some may ask you to whitewash the house. Advice actually varies from one broker to the other. 
  
  
• What challenges will I have to face while selling my property? : A professional agent will directly tell you all the challenges that you might face while selling your property. Usually, most of the properties do not have any issues. However, there will be internal and external challenges. Look for energetic brokers when putting up your houses for sale. Avoid those agents who show too much confidence or someone who is sluggish in nature.
