Choosing the right agent is your biggest selling decision. Here’s how to do it objectively.
Key Factors to Assess
- Recent local sales and case studies
- Owner reviews and independent ratings
- Days on market and clearance rates
- Marketing and negotiation strategy
- Track record with similar properties
- Agent communication, follow-up and transparency
- Is the agent proactive with tactics and buyer follow-up?
Interview Questions to Ask
- What’s your strategy for the first 2 weeks on market?
- How do you handle offers and negotiations?
- How will you reach active and passive buyers?
- Past local vendor references?
- Who does the core campaign work: you or your team?
When to Interview Multiple Agents
It’s smart – you can compare marketing/strategy, commission and style. Trust evidence, not only sales pitch.
