In the home buying or selling process, if you're looking to purchase in the United States, or another country where the language of the country isn't your first language, it's not a bad idea to consider language when selecting an agent. If you don't speak English fluently, finding an agent who speaks your language should be one of your top priorities and part of your filtering process for weeding out the vast majority of agents. If 1 decision maker speaks English fluently, but the other doesn't, it's important that both decision makers have full understanding to avoid confusion. Below I'll go over how to find an agent that speaks your language online on Zillow or Realtor.com as well as what to consider if you're not finding a speaker of the language you know best.
