Join me today as my guests, Dr. Bennie Waller and Dr. Scott Wentland, Professors at Longwood University in Finance and Economics, as we discuss what questions you should be asking when hiring a realtor.

Some of the topics we will be discussing include:

It is especially important for families to be familiar with a potential neighborhood and any possible risks.  Is the neighborhood improving or deteriorating?  Are there other children in the neighborhood?  Are their registered sex offenders or anything else like commercial impact, new freeways, airports, or anything else that will affect the livability of the home?

Interview your real estate agent, find one that you feel comfortable with and who understands your needs.  If you’re a buyer…get pre-approved or credit approved for a mortgage before you go shopping and you will have a much more enjoyable experience.
