How to Choose a Listing Agent in Towson

Seven questions to ask

1. How would you price my home, and which sales are you using? Ask to see the recent nearby sales behind the number. A price with no comparable sales behind it is a guess.
2. What would you fix, and what would you leave alone? Good advice here saves you money. Not every repair pays back.
3. What’s your marketing plan? Photos, floor plan, the online listing, showings, open houses, and how you’ll hear feedback.
4. What’s your fee, and what does it cover? Commissions are fully negotiable and aren’t set by law. Ask about the listing agent’s fee and any buyer’s agent pay as separate lines.
5. How long is the listing agreement, and can I cancel? Know the term and what happens if you’re unhappy.
6. How will we communicate? Who you’ll hear from, how often and how fast.
7. What are your results, and over what time frame? Any percentage should come with its dates.

What I’d tell you if you interviewed me

Since 2023, my listings have sold for a median 103.6% of the original asking price, in a median of 6 days on the market. I’ve managed rentals since 2014, so I know what repairs cost and which ones buyers pay for. I price from real recent sales and compare offers by what you actually keep.
