How to Choose a Real Estate Agent in Florida

Answers from broker Ryan C. Winslow

What should I look for in a Florida agent?

Check the license on the Florida DBPR website, ask how many homes the agent has sold, and ask for local pricing examples. Experience with flood zones, insurance, and condo documents matters on the coast.

Broker or agent?

A broker holds a higher license and supervises agents. Ryan C. Winslow is a licensed broker in Florida, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, with 3,000+ homes sold since 2009.

What questions should I ask?

Ask how they will price your home, how they market it, how they negotiate repairs, and who handles your calls day to day.
