There is no single master database of every deal an agent has closed, but their track record is easy to verify, and an agent who dodges the question is telling you something. You can vet experience before you hire: - Consumer sites. Most sold listings show up on Zillow or realtor.com under the agent's name. - The brokerage. Many publish their agents' sales. - The agent themselves. Any good agent can show you their own documentation. Some keep a running record or even a map of every property they have sold. If an agent is cagey about their history, treat that as information. In our experience, the main reason someone dodges is a thin or nonexistent track record, which is exactly what you want to know before trusting them with your largest transaction. Ask directly: how many homes have you sold, in what areas, and how many in the last year specifically? A busy, competent agent answers easily and often volunteers references without being asked. The agent you pick has a real effect on your outcome, from pricing to negotiation, so hire on demonstrated results rather than a friendly first impression.
