Top 10 Expectations Of A Listing Agent, From A Listing Agent

As a homeowner, real estate broker and Realtor I know a few people in the real estate industry. From mortgage bankers to home inspectors, I tend to know them all. Last week, I was honored when one of those professionals asked me to list their home for sale. That’s always a big ego boost because, it’s kind of like winning a Emmy or Grammy. Sure, I don’t get a little gold statue or anything but, I do get the recognition from my peer and that is important. Unlike the general public, my peer, my colleague knows what to expect from his listing agent and the cool part is, he trust that I can provide it. Like my colleague, many of you out there will utilize a listing agent to sell your home and I thought to myself, wouldn’t you like to know what an industry insider looks for when he chooses a listing agent. Better yet, I put myself in your shoes and wondered how would I leverage my personal knowledge of the real estate industry and my local market expertise to pick the right agent to list my own home? Well, this really got my wheels a turning because, I stopped and asked myself, do I provide the same level of service to my listing clients, that I would expect from a agent listing my home? I am proud to say, Yes, most of the time, I think I do. In fact, it was this very thought process that lead me to create my Top 10 Expectations of a Listing Agent. The show today, is going to be all about what someone like myself, a experienced real estate broker would look for in a listing agent and how you, as a homeowner, with little to no real estate experience can use my top 10 expectations to ensure you choose the correct agent for your home.
