We already mentioned price but what you need to know is exactly what that price is going to cover. You want a detailed listing of services that will be provided. You also want a listing of what any charges will be if you go over the allotted time.

Personality is important.

You are going to be working closely with this person so you need to make sure it is someone that you get along with.
