What do sellers actually want in an agent?

According to new research from 1000WATT, 87% of recent home sellers described their agent not as a salesperson — but as a guide, advisor, or confidant.

These insights come from a national survey of 1,000 real sellers (not industry pros), offering a candid view of what people value when the stakes are high.

Lead with trust. Speak their language. Be the partner they remember.

Sellers aren’t just looking for a REALTOR®. They’re looking for someone who gets them.

According to new research by 1000WATT, sellers value agents who act as advisors, not just facilitators.

Use these 3 ways to show up the way they need you:
• Use their words: “Advisor” and “guide” resonate more than “agent.”
• Speak to the emotionally maxed-out: Reassurance beats overwhelm when stress runs high.
• Be present at the right moments: Showings, negotiations, feedback — these shape the client’s memory of your value.

This insight comes from a national survey of 1,000 real home sellers — not industry professionals — capturing what they actually think, feel, and expect.

Speak their language. Earn their trust.
