Navigating the world of personal finance can be a maze of conflicting advice, especially when it comes from TV "experts," friends, or family. They often suggest interviewing multiple real estate agents and then, somehow, choosing the best one. But how do you decide? What criteria should you use? It's a dilemma many face without a clear solution. Choosing an agent with the current market knowledge and who is familiar with your area. Whether you're choosing an agent based in the Bronx, Yonkers, New Rochelle, Mount Vernon, or Westchester, it's important to consider these factors. 

Consider this: when a company hires for a significant role, say one with a salary of $100,000 or $200,000, they don’t just go with a gut feeling. They have a structured approach, a set of criteria they use for candidates. It's not about who they "like" the most; it's about who fits the job based on reason and logic. Hiring an agent without a clear strategy is like playing 'Blind Archery' – risky and impractical.

Remember, you're hiring someone for a crucial task – selling your home, a significant financial milestone. Don't leave it to chance. Be prepared with the right questions and criteria.

What matters more to you: an agent's ability to fetch a top dollar or their commission rate? Do you prefer an agent who works solo and is always available, or one with a high success rate in selling homes they list? These are the types of questions you need to ponder.
