Most sellers don't interview agents. They call someone they know, take a referral from a friend without asking many follow-up questions, or go with whoever sent them a postcard in the mail recently. I understand why — hiring an agent feels awkward to approach as a business decision, especially when there's a personal connection involved.But here's the reality: the agent you hire to sell your home will...
When sellers think about price, they almost always start from the inside out. What did I pay for this home? What have I put into it over the years?
