- Forty-one percent of buyers found their agent through a referral from a friend or family member and 9 percent used an agent they had used before to buy or sell a home.
- About two-thirds of recent buyers only interviewed one agent before they found the agent they worked with.
- Nearly nine in ten buyers would use their agent again or recommend to others.
