3. Once you have your list, feel free to do some research, ask around or google their Company name, agent name, and team name. Working with a Team can have some advantages over individual agents, Real Estate teams seem to be the new trend.

4. Interview the agents, when it comes to obtaining the services of Fort Wayne Realtors you are not necessarily looking for the top agent in the area, example if you are selling a $150,000 home and the top Fort Wayne agent specializes in $750,000 homes he/she may not pay as much attention to your listing being towards the low end of the price range.
