From the moment you decided to sell your home, the key thought that likely ran through your head was “I want to sell my house fast for cash.” It’s true of many people who put their homes on the market. Most work to decide between selling it on their own and enlisting the services of a real estate agent. Unfortunately, though, there’s a downside to working with real estate agents. Many people who wish to sell their homes don’t even consider – they may actually not be helping you sell your house. How can that even be a problem? If you begin to notice any of these issues, it’s not your house that’s an issue, it’s your real estate agent. 

  • Lacking Communication: The world of real estate moves quite quickly, and if your agent is communicating well with you or you wait days for your agent to return your call, you should likely find another agent. Most agents can respond to you within a matter of hours, so expect your agent to be in touch on a regular basis. 
  • Makes All of the Decisions For You: Your agent should be excited to help you sell your home, but their role is simply to work as a guide in the process, not to make the decisions for you. If you feel your agent is trying to push you toward a particular decision, you may want to work with someone else. 
  • Doesn’t Have Local Market Knowledge: You’ve likely heard the saying “All real estate is local.” There’s a reason for that. Understanding the local market is absolutely crucial. If your agent just isn’t up to speed with local sales stats and comparable homes that have sold in your area, it’s going to be a problem. You need accurate, reliable information to price your home well. If your agent can’t provide it, you may want to look for someone who can.
  • Runs Late for Showings: Selling a home means lots of scheduling. Missing a single showing means you may miss out on selling your home. If your agent ever calls you and asks you to handle your own showing or you know they’ve missed showings in the past, it’s a pretty good sign that you should consider working with someone else to sell your home.
