How an Agent Comparison Helps Secure Your Financial Future

The agent you work with to sell your home will play a critical role in your financial future, so be sure you choose carefully. I recommend conducting an agent comparison in order to feel secure in your decision.

For sellers, the choice between which agent they will work with is part of a huge financial decision. This is why I want all sellers to know that they have the option of conducting an agent comparison. Now, allow me to tell you an example of why agent comparisons matter. Years ago, I met with a sweet older woman who was looking to sell her home. She told me she’d already made her decision. She said she’d chosen an agent who had sold over 100 homes last year, so I told her, “Great. If you’re happy, I’m happy.” But when she shared the name of the agent, a red flag came up in my mind. I didn’t recognize the agent’s name, and I know the names of almost every agent in town.

Come to me with the name of the agent you’re interviewing and I’d be happy to run the comparison.

After running an agent comparison straight from the MLS, I found that this agent had not sold over 100 homes in the previous year. He had actually only sold around 17 homes. It was disturbing to find out that this woman was about to trust her financial future to someone who hadn’t sold even a quarter of the homes they’d claimed they had. So, now I offer all sellers an agent comparison. All you have to do is come to me with the name of the agent you’re interviewing and I’d be happy to run the comparison. I hope this resource is helpful for you. If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
