Use this as a private decision aid
The checklist helps you organize what to verify before contacting or hiring an agent. It does not create a public ranking, submit your answers, or replace licensing, legal, financial, inspection, or tax advice.
No stored answers
This worksheet runs on the page as a planning tool. It is not a lead form.

Score0/8
0 to 3 checked
Listing strategy is underdeveloped. Ask for more detail or compare another profile.
Do not score only the list price
A high suggested list price can feel good, but the stronger signal is whether the agent can explain the strategy and the fallback plan.
Ask for comparable sales and active competition.
Ask what should be fixed before launch.
Ask what happens if traffic is slow.
Ask how the launch works
Sellers should understand the calendar from preparation to media, go-live, showing feedback, offer review, and post-offer steps.
Who manages preparation?
What media is included?
How often will feedback be reviewed?
