A Lehigh Valley Native, and my knowledge of the area is very good. Over 15 years of experience as a Full Time REALTOR, and some intelligence (not just IQ, actual common sense,) I'd coach any potential client to pick an agent whom with which they can build a comfortable relationship. Don't make a Real Estate transaction more of a stressful experience than it might already turn out to be for you, because of the agent you choose.
If it's time for you to sell, let's just have a quick meeting at your home. You don't need to give me tea or a snack. It's just a quick face to face for you to feel out if I might be a good match for you or not, mean while, I'll get to see your house & maybe provide some suggestions on what to do for maximizing sales price.
Even for purchases, I prefer to meet with clients face to face quickly, after we might meet on-line or via phone. Real Estate Law requires I provide you with Consumer Notice (Real Estate education information - explaining Agency : who works for whom as REALTORS) and it is more effective to communicate in person to create a working relationship face to face.
Knowing what you can afford for your home purchase and getting pre-qualified or pre-approved by a licensed mortgage broker or banker are also important initial steps for shopping. There is no reason to frustrate yourself looking at what you cannot purchase. Even as a Seller, talking to a good mortgage person about your options is an important part of making the process less stressful.
