When you’re buying or selling property in Colorado—especially in a fast-moving or rural market—the Realtor you choose makes all the difference.
Do they know the terrain?
Do they hustle for you?
Do they answer the phone when things get weird?
At Big Frontier Group, we believe in full transparency and smart choices. Whether you work with us or someone else, you deserve an agent who shows up with experience, strategy, and communication you expect.
Here’s your no-fluff checklist of 12 questions every buyer or seller should ask—before signing with a Realtor.
🎯 Agent Experience + Focus
1. How long have you been in real estate—and how well do you know this area?
You want someone with boots-on-the-ground knowledge. Market shifts, seasonal timing, local quirks—experience matters.
2. What kinds of properties do you specialize in?
Land? Homes? Ranches? Investment deals? Agents who know your lane will have better strategies and faster answers.
3. Are you a full-time agent—or is this a side hustle?
This isn’t a judgment—just clarity. If you want consistent support and fast communication, full-time availability matters.
💬 Communication + Support Structure
4. What’s your communication style—and how often will I hear from you?
Phone, text, email, or something else? Knowing how your agent works helps avoid “radio silence” frustration later.
5. Do you work solo, or do you have a team behind you?
Some people prefer a one-on-one approach. Others love the speed and support of a full team. There’s no wrong answer—just what works for you.
💼 Strategy + Performance
6. What’s your strategy for marketing (if I’m selling) or finding properties (if I’m buying)?
Ask for details: photos, video, social media, email blasts, investor lists, off-market access, search alerts, negotiation tactics—the works.
7. What’s your list-to-sale price ratio (for sellers) or offer success rate (for buyers)?
Translation: How well do they price, market, and negotiate? Real results > polished promises.
8. How do you handle multiple offers or bidding wars?
Colorado’s market moves fast. Make sure your agent knows how to win without getting reckless.
📊 Market & Process Knowledge
9. What are the current trends in this market—and how do they affect me?
The market shifts constantly. A great agent stays ahead of it, not behind.
10. Can you walk me through the full buying/selling process—and where people get stuck?
The best agents don’t just get deals done—they prepare you for what’s coming. From inspections to appraisals to curveballs.
11. What are your fees—and how do they work?
No guesswork. No surprises. Know how they’re paid and what’s included.
12. Can you share references or reviews from past clients?
Word of mouth still means everything. Ask to see reviews—or better yet, call someone they’ve worked with.
🧠 Why This Matters
Hiring a Realtor isn’t just about personality or production.
It’s about trust, clarity, and follow-through on one of the biggest financial moves of your life.
Take the time to ask smart questions. Interview more than one agent. Look for someone who listens, explains, and actually knows what they’re doing.
