This is a great question. If you are thinking of buying or selling a home, you should interview multiple real estate agents. Do some research on the real estate agents your are interviewing. In addition, you should make sure to ask if they charge a transaction fee before agreeing to work with that real estate agent. Ask them how much is the fee and who is responsible to pay the fee. Recently, I have seen transaction fees range from a few hundred dollars up to $1,000. Complete your due diligence and shop around before deciding who you want to work with and how much it is going to cost you.
