Find a Top Real Estate Agent Near You
Is there a difference between a selling and buying agent?
I want to sell my house. I talked to an agent that has only helped people buy houses, but he wants to help me sell my house. I'm wondering if he lacks experience or training and if he's qualified to sell since he hasn't done it before.

Agents are trained to be able to represent both Buyer and Seller clients. Like any business -- the more you do, the more skilled and better you become. Talk to your agent frankly and ask him if he is working with a seasoned mentor agent/broker to provide advice and guidance. Just because he has limited experience with listing homes does not mean that he is going to be a bad choice. If he is motivated and not overly busy -- selling your property and finding a Buyer will be his main focus.
