How to compare listing agents by pricing strategy, preparation plan, launch process, negotiation, communication, and market-specific selling experience.
A listing presentation should show how the agent thinks about comparable sales, current competition, buyer demand, property condition, timing, and the risk of sitting too long.
The right preparation plan depends on the property. A condo, luxury home, acreage, starter home, or tenanted investment property may need very different sequencing.
Ask how the listing will be positioned for the likely buyer pool. A useful marketing plan should be more detailed than simply placing the property online.
