If you are a future seller, there are 4 general categories that determine what you can get for your house, and 2 of them are impacted by the real estate agent you hire.
Factors Not Impacted by Agent:
#1) What your house is; location, size, style, features, quality & condition. These areas are what they are, and are not impacted by your agent.
#2) Current Market Forces; supply & demand, greater economic conditions, interest rates, marketplace perceptions, and more can be expertly navigated by your agent - but not controlled.
Critical Factors Impacted by Agent:
#3) Presentation; how you prepare your listing swings the needle significantly in what your home can command on the market; minor repairs and touch-ups, de/cluttering, minimizing, and cleaning, staging, marketing, and positioning. Your agent has massive impact on coaching, advising, and managing the process leading up to listing. Although your house has a likely price range it will fall into, hiring the right agent to help best present to market ensures your house will sell at the very high-end of this range.
#4) Negotiation/Transaction Management; every single conversation matters during showings, during the offer process, and during the transaction. Impeccable transaction management can put extra money in your pocket, or cost you significant dollars.
