When the time comes to sell your home, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is the real estate agent that you choose. There’s a lot that goes into selling a home, and working with the right professional can make the process much easier. However, that’s not the only reason why you need to be selective with who you work with.
A top-performing Realtor doesn’t just take the stress out of selling, they also help you get a better result! In other words, a good real estate agent can ensure you get the most money possible for your home. In this blog, we’ll look at how.
Unlocking Your Home’s Full Potential
No matter how maintained or updated your home is, there’s always room for improvement – at least when it comes to real estate. Buyers can be extremely picky and they’ll likely form an opinion of your home based on just a few online photos or within seconds of seeing it in person. The right Realtor knows what buyers are looking for and can recommend strategic tweaks to your home that will make it more appealing and ultimately increase its value.
This could be fixing a leaky tap, changing out countertops, repainting the living room, or another type of change that will be directly influential to your home’s final selling price.
The same goes for the outside of your home. First impressions are pivotal in real estate, and your home’s exterior is the first thing buyers will see when they arrive for an open house or showing. Fixes like landscaping, exterior painting, or outdoor lighting installation can go a long way when it comes to curb appeal.
Real Home Staging
On top of guiding you towards high-ROI home upgrades, a great agent will also know how to stage your home. The process of staging involves more than just cleaning and rearranging furniture. It’s about presenting your home in a way that maximizes its strengths while minimizing any weaknesses. This may sound subtle on paper, however, the results are often significant.

Proper Pricing
Many sellers don’t realize just how intricate the process of pricing a home can be. In a lot of cases, the initial asking price isn’t identical to a seller’s target number. Instead, strategic pricing is all about driving up buyer interest without leaving money on the table.
All that being said, a great Realtor will take an informed, data-based approach to pricing your home. This usually starts with a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) which looks closely at recently sold homes in your area, comparing and contrasting them to your property. These insights, paired with your agent’s individual professional experience will be crucial to setting the right price for your home.
Negotiating For You
Negotiations play a major role in the end result of your home sale.
This is an area where an agent’s experience is particularly important. The negotiation process can be extremely involved and even tumultuous, you’ll want to be confident that your agent can handle the pressure and advocate for your best interests no matter what.
On top of your final sale price, there are other big details that get sorted out during negotiations too such as contingencies, financing, and closing timelines. Whether it involves counteroffers or navigating multiple bids, a great Realtor will secure the best possible deal based on your personal and financial priorities.
