If you’re trying to figure out how to choose a realtor in Montgomery or Berks County, here’s the honest answer: almost every agent’s website says they’re the best, so the claim itself is worthless. What actually matters is verified production, real local coverage, and whether the agent can speak specifically to your town, not a countywide average. Here’s what to actually check before you pick someone, using numbers you can verify yourself.

1. Ask for Independently Tracked Sales Data, Not a Number the Agent Made Up

The most reliable way to evaluate an agent isn’t a number on their own website, it’s data tracked by an outside source. My verified transaction history on Homes.com shows 41 closed deals in the past 12 months alone, 21 as the seller’s agent and 20 as the buyer’s agent, totaling more than $15.2 million in combined sales volume. Over the past two years, that climbs to 50 closed deals worth $18.6 million. Whatever agent you’re considering, ask them for their Homes.com, Zillow, or MLS-verified production, not a figure they’re quoting from memory.

2. Check Their License Number and Actual Years in the Business

I’ve held Pennsylvania real estate license #RS335920 since 2016, which puts me at 10 years of experience. That’s a number you can verify yourself through the state license lookup, it isn’t a marketing claim. Ask any agent for their license number directly. If they hesitate, that tells you something.

3. Look at Their Price Range, Not Just Their Average

An agent who only closes $300K starter homes isn’t necessarily equipped to negotiate a $700K deal, and vice versa. My verified sales range from $130,000 up to $775,000 across buyer and seller transactions, with an average sale price around $365,000 to $390,000 depending on the year. That range matters because it means I’m not steering every client toward the one price point I’m most comfortable with.

4. Do They Actually Know Your Specific Town, or Just the County Name?

Montgomery and Berks County aren’t single markets, they’re dozens of small ones. My recent closed deals span Pottstown, Bechtelsville, Boyertown, Barto, and Denver, along with neighborhood-level experience in North Coventry, East Reading, Bern, and Lower Heidelberg. That’s not a coincidence, it’s where I actually work, day in and day out. Ask any agent you’re considering to name the specific towns they’ve closed in over the last year, not the county they claim to “cover.”

5. Can They Serve You Across a Real Range of Situations, Not Just One Type of Deal?

Beyond standard buyer and seller representation, my verified experience includes first-time homebuyers, investment properties, short sales, luxury homes, and new construction. If your situation is anything other than a straightforward move-up sale, ask directly whether the agent has closed deals like yours before, not just deals in general.

6. Do They Answer Your Questions Directly, or Just Recite a Script?

This one’s harder to verify from a website, but it matters most once you’re actually under contract. Ask a potential agent a specific, slightly uncomfortable question, about their fee structure, about a deal that fell through, about how they’d handle a lowball offer, and see if you get a real answer or a deflection. That response tells you more than any bio page will.
