How to Choose a Real Estate Agent When Buying a Cabin
Not all agents are created equal—especially when you’re buying land or rural property. Here’s what helped us find the right person for the job.
Questions We Asked
- Have you sold rural property before?
- Can you recommend local inspectors, lenders, and contractors?
- Do you understand off-grid and cabin properties?
Red Flags We Avoided
We spoke to agents who tried to push us into quick decisions. One even downplayed major inspection issues. If someone won’t listen to your goals, move on.
Why Our Agent Worked
He lived nearby, understood local building codes, and wasn’t afraid to tell us to walk away when something didn’t feel right. That’s what you want—a guide, not a salesperson.
