 Top-seller status: An ideal candidate is skilled at not only finding good deals but also marketing and selling properties for top dollar and in a reasonable amount of time. As you search the classifieds and notice For Sale signs and brochures in the neighborhood, note which companies and agents do a better job of marketing their properties.

 Tech savvy: Real estate deals move at warp speed, and you want an agent who takes advantage of all available tech tools to find, buy, and sell properties. For example, your agent should have access to more powerful property-search tools than you can access on the web and set up automatic emails or texts to you when properties that match your search criteria become available. If an agent seems uncomfortable with technology, choose someone else.

 Personal experience flipping properties: Personal experience isn’t a necessity, but it’s a big plus, because the person knows what flippers require to turn a profit and typically has a strong network of affordable contractors to perform repairs and renovations. Preferably, the person is no longer in the business of flipping properties and will alert you to all the best deals instead. Don’t use experience in flipping houses as your sole criteria for choosing one agent over another. You want a quality agent — experience in flipping is a bonus.
