What actually matters when choosing an agent
Most sellers pick the agent with the cheapest fee or the highest valuation. Both are the wrong starting point. What matters far more:
- Local track record — have they actually sold homes like yours, in your area?
- Communication — will they keep you updated, or go quiet after the photos are taken?
- Marketing — professional photography, video, and reach all move the needle on price.
- The person — you'll work with them for weeks. Fit and trust count.
The right agent is rarely the cheapest one. They're the one who gets you the best outcome with the least stress.
