A listing agent’s job is to help prepare the seller’s house for sale, market the property to buyers, and guide the seller through the offer and transaction process to help complete the sale. A good listing agent will help you wherever you need it, whether that be assisting you in pricing your home, recommending photographers and stagers, and putting your home on the MLS to open it up to more potential buyer’s agents. These agents will also advise you if they think your ideas will help your home sell, because their income depends on it. So, if you want to advertise your home in the local paper but your listing agent disagrees because it is not a popular advertising method in your area, try not to take it to heart. They are just trying to give your home the best chance it has to be seen by qualified buyers.
