Get it all in writing, they promise the world. Everything you discuss, You would like it done this way. This way when they do not do what you have discussed with them you have it in writing and their are no excuses.

Biggest convo should be about how they are going to market your home, where it's going to be listed, websites etc.
Commission rate
open houses
Tips to get house show ready/staged
How you want house shown-lockbox or not
Meet with at least 2 realtors
Ask about comps in the area
Tell them what YOU want-how fast you want to sell, how negotiable you are on price etc.
My parents realtor on LI wont' even take a listing if the sellers aren't willing negotiate their listing price or lower it in this tough market or if the seller is just trying to max profit, the house will just sit.

The realors usually have a whole presentation they go through, try to get a feel for the person.
Also i judged them on promptness of returning my call and how friendly they were on the phone.

I sold my condo in 30 days, mostly because it was show ready 24/7, very de cluttered and VERY CLEAN and move in condition. And believe me that was hard with 2 babies under 2 years old. My buyer must have said that to me and my realtor a million times that's why she picked mine out of the 10 she saw that day.
