Agent evaluation scorecard
Use this as a private decision aid
The checklist helps you organize what to verify before contacting or hiring an agent. It does not create a public ranking, submit your answers, or replace licensing, legal, financial, inspection, or tax advice.
No stored answers
This worksheet runs on the page as a planning tool. It is not a lead form.
Compare consistently
Use the same prompts across multiple profiles so the decision is easier to explain.
