You should find a real estate agent as soon as you decide to buy or sell a property.

For buyers, having an agent early on helps in getting pre-approved for a mortgage and setting realistic expectations for your home search. For sellers, an agent can assist in preparing your home for the market, pricing it correctly, and creating a marketing strategy.

When choosing a real estate agent, consider the following:

Local Knowledge: An agent in the Gainesville and the surrounding areas will have valuable insights into the local market.

Communication Skills: Your agent should be responsive and communicate clearly.

Reputation and References: Look for an agent with good reviews and don't be afraid to ask for references.

Professionalism: Ensure your agent is licensed, ethical, and have a good track record.

Compatibility: You should feel comfortable and confident in their ability to represent your interests.

Yes, real estate agents can work with both buyers and sellers. Many agents handle transactions for both sides, sometimes even within the same deal (dual agency), though this can be subject to state laws and regulations. It's important to understand how your agent manages dual roles and whether they have protocols to avoid conflicts of interest.
