seller decision

Should I use the agent who sold the home before?

Short answer

The agent who previously sold a home may have useful context, but that does not automatically make them the right fit now. Compare current market knowledge, pricing logic, preparation plan, communication, fee terms, and whether they still actively serve the area and property type.

What to do next
Ask how the current market differs from the last sale.
Compare at least one other listing plan.
Verify current brokerage, availability, and service model.
