I'm currently in the process of buying my first home and have a few questions about working with real estate agents. How do I choose the right agent for my needs? I’m specifically looking for the best real estate agent near me. What questions should I ask during the initial meeting? 

I've heard that commission rates can vary, so how can I ensure I'm getting a fair deal? Additionally, what should I expect in terms of communication and support throughout the buying process? Any tips or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated! Looking forward to your insights and advice. 

Thank you!
