Find a firm of reliable real estate agents in Utah The advantage to working with an entire brokerage is that you'll have not only multiple agents working for you, but the knowledge of an experienced broker who can guide you, whether you're a buyer or a seller.

I recommend:  Locate reputable RE/MAX brokerage firms by searching for the city in which you'd like to buy or sell at WorldReferrals.com. Find an ERA Real Estate brokerage firm to use in Utah.

Consider using an individual UT real estate agent If you'd prefer to just work with one person instead of dealing with an entire firm, find a real estate agent that you're comfortable with. As a buyer, you may need to look at literally dozens of houses so you need an agent who will be receptive to your needs. As a seller, you'll want to have an agent who will represent your needs and negotiate in your best interests. You can work directly with a broker or a sales agent.

I recommend:  Find individual agents by using the search feature at RealEstate ABC, where you can view each agent's listings right through the website. Browse through Connect2Agent to find one in your area.

Verify the credentials of each Utah real estate agent you consider Not all real estate agents are Realtors. They must be members of the UT Association of Realtors (UAR) to call themselves 'Realtors,' and this association holds its members to the highest of standards. Every real estate agent, however, must hold a state license to practice, whether they join UAR or not.

I recommend:  Search for Utah Realtors using the online lookup function at the Utah Association of Realtors. Also ensure that the agent you're considering is actively licensed with the Utah Division of Real Estate.
