Who Chooses The Real Estate Agent?

A realtor friend called me to ask me who chooses the agent because her friend wanted to hire her. Who chooses the agent? Is it the executor/administrator or the lawyer?

Did the deceased die without a will? Yes. Well she is the administrator, I said. Remember who is the principal. The administrator hires the lawyer and the real estate agent. 

She said, "my friend wants me to sell the house for her. But her lawyer is telling her that he knows someone too."

Me, "If your friend wants to hire you tell her it's her right to do so."

I checked with a lawyer friend I know. He said the same thing. The executor or administrator hires the agent. "If the administrator doesn't know any agents, he said, "I give him three names of agents to choose from. Yours, of course, is one of them."

Have any probate questions? Let me know.
