Key Skills You Need Your Listing Agent To Have

 

Selling your house is a big decision. And that can make it feel both exciting and a little bit nerve-wracking. But the key to a successful sale is finding the perfect listing agent to work with you throughout the process. A listing agent, also known as a seller's agent, helps market and sell your house while advocating for you every step of the way.

But, how do you know you've found the perfect match in an agent? Here are three key skills you’ll want your listing agent to have.

They Price Your House Based on the Latest Data

While it may be tempting to pick the agent who suggests the highest asking price for your house, that strategy may cost you.

As NerdWallet explains: “An agent who recommends the highest price isn't always the best choice. Choose an agent who backs up the recommendation with market knowledge.”

They’re a Great Negotiator

A skilled listing agent will be calm under pressure and will be your point-person in all of those conversations. Their experience in handling the back-and-forth gives you with the peace of mind that you've got someone on your side who’s got your best interests in mind throughout this journey.

They’re a Skilled Problem Solver

BankRate explains it like this: “Just as important as the knowledge and experience agents bring is their ability to guide you smoothly through the process. Above all, go with an agent you trust and will feel comfortable with. . .”

Whether you're a first-time seller or you’ve been through selling a house before, a great listing agent is the key to success. DM me so you have a skilled local expert by your side to guide you through every step of the process.
