If you are not satisfied, let them know.

4. Before you sign any contracts or forms, make sure you fully understand them. Agents are trained to do this. Agents may not be able to explain everything in detail because they are constantly working with contracts. Ask the agent to explain any clauses in the contract until you are clear. Realize that realtors cannot interpret the law and are not lawyers. You should consult an attorney if you require legal advice regarding any contract.
