Clear, open communication is key. They should be willing to go over and beyond and be able to present listings & data to you in a very thorough manner. I've seen plenty of realtors who read items off of the fricken feature sheet while they walk their clients through a house. You hire a realtor so they can present information that you might not otherwise have access to or have knowledge of.
If you know more about the listing than they do, that's a pretty strong sign. Watch out for realtors that are pushy - that's the telltale sign that they just want to get in & get out. Should be no pressure vs. selling you on a future shop extended warranty.
Beware of "popular" realtors since it's likely you will end up working with their assistants. Don't sign these 6-month exclusivity forms. At most, sign a separate form for each house you offer on if you are a buyer, or if you are a seller, only sign for a much shorter timeframe.
