How to Select the Right Listing Agent to Sell Your Home

9 Tips for Choosing the Best Listing Agent

There are two basic types of realtors: a listing agent and a buyer’s agent. A listing agent focuses on marketing, promotions and getting homes sold. A buyer’s agent is concerned with moving people in and out.

Both types of realtors are needed to complete a transaction, but today I wanted to tell you how to choose the best listing agent. I have a list of 9 things to keep in mind when choosing who you want to represent you!

1. Find out their track record. How many homes have they listed and sold? Get a written list and do your due diligence.
2. Do they have a written action plan to give you?
3. Check out their company. Set up the second meeting at their office. Are they a reputable company?
4. Are they well connected? Check out their LinkedIn and other social media profiles. 
5. Do they have endorsements and testimonials for their service?
6. Check out their website. Do they have a great website to list your home on?
7. What is their proven system that goes above and beyond other agents?
8. Do you have chemistry with the agent? You will be working with this person for 6-12 months!
9. Ask around your neighborhood. Are there signs up? Have they worked with people in the neighborhood before?

These are nine things that you should consider when hiring your listing agent. Thank you for watching. If you have any questions, please call me. Together my team and I have more than 60 years of experience! We’d love to help you
