One question every seller should ask before hiring a real estate agent:
âWho will actually be hosting the open houses and showing my home?â
Youâre hiring an agent for their expertise, market knowledge, negotiation skills, and ability to position your property. But in many cases, the person you hire isnât the person buyers actually meet.
The agent who knows your home best should be the one presenting it, answering questions, highlighting its unique features, and building connections with potential buyers. No one can tell your homeâs story better than the agent who developed the strategy behind selling it.
Before you sign a listing agreement, make sure you understand exactly who will be representing your home throughout the process. It can make all the difference.
