Whether you are buying or selling a home, you will want to choose a professional who meets your professional needs and has a personal style that agrees with your own. Here are some tips to help find a real estate agent:

• Call your local Prudential Ridgeway office and ask to speak with an agent

• Ask family, friends, and business associates for referrals

• Attend open houses. If the agent or broker impresses you, ask for a business card

• Drive through neighborhoods that interest you and look for yard signs to see what agent handles most of the sales

• Search local newspapers and real estate publications

• Call the local Prudential Real Estate Network member office for a referral to an office out of town
