Although a lot of real estate brokerages discount the services of Northwest-based Redfin, they put out a list of "15 Questions To Ask When Hiring A Real Estate Agent" a couple of weeks ago that I thought were pretty good.  It's not a perfect list, but it's  agood start. 

As agents we're often interviewed when competing for listings, but rarely have I been interviewed by buyers (although the first time it happened, I was impressed).  Why shouldn't we be interviewed?  Have you interviewed agents before?

I really like some of the comments, that's where some of the best pars of a blog post are, in my opinion.  Be sure to check out Ardell's thoughts about what the #1 reason to hire a particular agent is.
