2. Although there are a lot of highly qualified
Tustin real estate agents, there may be some
you would really want to avoid. Find out how
long the agent has been in the business. Even
if the salesperson has been in business only a
few years, the office should have been around
a long time. Try to do business only with an
agent or office that has a long track record of
five years at the least. Work with a national
franchise. While this is no guarantee you’ll get
an active agent, it does give you some
assurance of at least minimal quality in terms
of procedures.

4. Bona Fide Realtor or not?
If the agent becomes truly incompetent and
negligent, you can always appeal to the national
office of the chain. Ask to see the agent’s real
estate license. In all states, agents must be
licensed and that license must be prominently
displayed in their office. They’ll be pleased to
show it to you. Ask if the agent is a bona fide
Tustin Realtor. This is a member of the National
Association of Realtors (NAR), which helps

6. Check the Firm’s Legitimacy
Check with the local better business bureau or
(in an extreme case) the local district attorney’s
office to see if there are now pending or have
ever been any complaints against the agent or
the office. Call the state real estate department
and ask if the agent’s license has ever been
revoked or suspended or if the agent has ever
been disciplined. This is public information to
which you are entitled. Quite frankly, few
buyers will ever take these last two steps as
most real estate companies in Orange County
are really trustworthy. But there’s little harm in

8. Don’t Judge by Appearance
In most cases, we tend to accept a friendly
smile and a solid handshake as evidence of
competency and honesty. In most cases, things
work out just fine. Remember, however, you
are now considering those very few bad apples.
The worst thing that you can do is to find out

something has happened—after you’ve made an

10. Do a Background Check
Many states have recovery funds. If you have
been damaged by an agent’s actions, you may
be able to recover at least a portion of the
damages from the fund. Check with your state’s
department of real estate. Remember, it takes
only one or two phone calls and perhaps fifteen
minutes of time talking to the right people to
get a minimal background check on the person
who is going to advise you on what is probably
the biggest investment you’ll make in your life.
It will give you positive proof and it’s a very
