Michael Ackerman, a Seattle real estate broker with Coldwell Banker Bain, blogs about finding the right agent when you are relocating to an area that is new to you. Michael suggests that you use your current agent as a resource to help locate a wonderful agent for you in your destination area. Your agent may already have an established relationship with a great agent, and, even if they don't, they can phone interview prospective agents on your behalf. A referral from your current agent sets you up for success, and the chances that it will be a good "match" is far greater!
