Assuming you should be lucky enough to have two agents interested, how do you decided which one to pick? Seems like a very basic question, but I haven't seen, and can't find, a decent answer.
Say both agents have a nice web site, maybe a good blog, some decent books in your style published. The commissions and stuff are competitive, right?
Do you base your decision on how much you like dealing with them on a personal level? Is it only about finding someone on the same wavelength?
I'd say there are at least 10-20 top agents in any given field that all seem competent and qualified. Probably more that just don't have the web site or blog established yet. So how would you make an intelligent choice?
I did find this article. Do others agree, anything to add?
