What should I ask a realtor before listing my home in Utah County?
Short answer: Interview at least two licensed agents, check their licenses with the Utah Division of Real Estate, and ask the Division's own seller questions: days on market, list-to-sale price, marketing plan and how commission works.

1. Check the license
Search the agent or brokerage in the Utah Division of Real Estate license search. Every brokerage on our list shows its license number and status from the Division's company list.
2. Questions the Division of Real Estate suggests sellers ask
From the Division's list (Utah Division of Real Estate):
- How long have you been an agent?
- What are your fiduciary duties to me as a seller?
- Do you ever represent a buyer and seller on the same transaction?
- What is your listings' average days on the market? What is your list-to-price ratio?
- Have you sold homes in this neighborhood and price range?
- How do you plan to market the home?
- Will I be working with you individually, or with a team?
- How does your commission work?
- Can I see a CMA (comparative market analysis) for my house?
- What closing costs should I expect?
3. Buying? Know the written agreement rule
The Utah Association of REALTORS says REALTORS must have a written agreement with a buyer before touring a home, and its updated buyer-broker form emphasizes that brokerage fees are fully negotiable (Utah Association of REALTORS). The Division also publishes questions for buyers (Utah Division of Real Estate).
