Choosing a listing agent should not feel like a guessing game, especially when we are talking about one of your biggest assets. 👏
A lot of sellers look at the obvious things first: years in business, sales numbers, reviews, marketing photos, social media presence.
And yes, those things matter.
But they don’t always tell you what it will actually feel like to work with that agent once your home is on the market.
The right listing agent should bring more than a sign, a lockbox, and a listing on the MLS.
They should be asking the right questions before your home ever goes live.
They should have a strategy for pricing, presentation, marketing, feedback, negotiations, and communication.
They should be honest with you, even when the answer is not the easiest one.
And they should help you feel informed instead of overwhelmed.
That is the part of the process sellers do not always see upfront, but it matters so much once you are in it.
If you are thinking about selling this year and want someone who will walk through the strategy with you, not just list it and hope for the best, I would love to be a resource.
