When current and past clients of Buyer’s Edge are ready to sell their homes, they frequently call and ask for "Selling Your Home Tips” or advice on how to find the best Listing Agent to sell their home. They want to understand the selling process, the cost, and the best ways to sell your house quickly. Past clients want to discuss the top tips on how to get the best offer and the best improvements for home valuation. They want to know if they should FSBO (for sale by owner) or use a top-rated listing Realtor. These are all excellent questions and concerns when thinking about selling your home.

As Exclusive Buyer’s Agents, we can’t help them sell their homes or condos since our DMV Realtors have chosen to represent buyers 100% of the time. However, they still ask for our advice since we work daily with some of the best Listing Agents in DC, MD, and Northern Virginia. We want our past buyer/clients to experience the same high-quality, professional service that our Exclusive Buyer’s Agents gave them when they purchased their homes.

Over the years, we’ve come to recognize what makes a good Seller’s Agent, and we offer this insight and are happy to discuss home sellers’ options. to our past/buyer clients who seek our advice. We like to call this the Seller’s Edge.

Seller’s Edge™ Home Selling Tips - How to Find a Top-Rated Real Estate Agent to Sell Your Home.
Avoid These Mistakes When Selling Your Home

1. What is the first thing you should do when selling? Interview a minimum of three listing agents and make sure the home is listed in the Multiple List Service.

  • We will always advise using an agent who works for a real estate company with an excellent reputation — an agent who is easily accessible and has good communication skills. With text, email, and cell phones there are no excuses why a listing agent shouldn’t be accessible 24/7.

2. Work with a listing agent who has a history of pushing the market price of properties up.

  • Sellers should work with agents that have a pulse on the current real estate market conditions. An excellent listing agent has a history and motivation to consistently raise the bar on the homes and condominiums that they list for sale.

3. Select a listing agent that is a tech-savvy marketer.

  • A good listing agent will be gifted in offering advice and direction for staging and creating extraordinary virtual tours. The advertising campaign should involve the state of the art use of social media for today’s tech-savvy buyers.

4. Look for an experienced, full-time professional.

  • While listing agents don’t have to have decades of real estate experience to be good agents, they should be honest, experienced, and full-time professionals. In multiple bidding wars, especially, the listing agent must have enough experience to honestly advise the seller which truly is the best offer, and the most likely to settle on the best overall terms.

5. Choose the listing agent that loves the profession.

  • The best listing agents are those who love what they do. A good listing agent will have an excellent reputation in the real estate community, and be a hard-nosed negotiator — one who will always negotiate hard on behalf of their sellers in order to sell their homes on the best possible terms.
