Choosing the right agent can make all the difference.
When it comes to selling your home, having the right real estate agent by your side isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. The agent you choose will guide you through pricing, marketing, negotiations, and more. That’s why I always encourage homeowners to interview their agent before listing. You deserve to feel confident and informed every step of the way.
Here are five key questions to ask—along with my personal approach to each.
1. How will you determine the right price for my home?
Pricing your home correctly from day one is crucial. I start with a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA)—a detailed look at recent sales of similar homes in your area. But I don’t stop there. I also consider current market trends, buyer demand, and the unique features of your property that can affect its value.
My approach: I’ll walk you through my full CMA so you understand the numbers and feel confident about your listing price.
2. What is your marketing strategy for selling my home?
A sign on the lawn isn’t enough anymore. I use a multi-platform marketing strategy that includes professional photography, home staging, targeted social media ads, online listings, email campaigns, and more. My goal is to maximize exposure and attract the right buyers quickly.
My approach: You’ll get a custom marketing plan tailored to your home, plus updates along the way so you always know what’s happening.
3. How does your commission work, and what’s included?
It’s important to understand what you’re paying for and what services are included. My commission covers everything from marketing to paperwork to expert negotiation. It also gives you access to my trusted network of vendors—stagers, cleaners, photographers, and more.
My approach: I’m fully transparent about commission and upfront about what’s included so there are no surprises.
4. What sets you apart from other agents?
Experience matters—but so does approachability and communication. I believe what sets me apart is the way I combine modern tools with personal service. I use the latest tech to market your home efficiently, but I never lose the human touch. You’ll hear from me regularly, and you’ll never be left wondering what’s next.
My approach: You’ll always feel like you’re my top priority. I take the time to listen, advise, and advocate for you every step of the way.
5. What’s your communication style and how often will I hear from you?
Selling a home can feel stressful if you don’t know what’s going on. That’s why clear, consistent communication is non-negotiable.
My approach: You’ll get regular updates, quick responses to your questions, and honest advice—whether things are moving fast or slow. My clients often tell me they feel like they’re working with a friend who has their back.
