When picking a realtor, look in the newspaper to find out which Realtor Agency is selling the most houses!

thank you for the replies.

I don't have any friends or relatives in the business, so perhaps my gut feelings on who to use.

Curly hair wins over straight hair every time. If they all have straight hair, the smallest office wins.

Run with your gut. Don't feel guilty, particularly if you feel you haven't misled anyone about their prospects to list your house.

Pull up their current local listings on line, and see how they present houses. Presentation is important.
Good photos, depth and accuracy of details, proper grammar and syntax in remarks are all important.
Nothing needs to be "Perfect," whatever that means. It should just be competently presented and articulated.

Dave was just kidding about using "friends" and "relatives"!

Go with your gut and sign the agency agreement. Then you can call or email the others (or respond if they contact you) and inform them that you have signed a listing agreement with someone else. If you have a signed agreement, there's nothing more they can say. It's unethical to pursue a client who already has an agent.

This! Go with your instinct. I'm sure they will all be great in their own way, but go with the one that you feel will represent your interests the best, and most importantly get the job done!

Or if you don't trust your gut, call Jean Dixon! She literally has a crystal ball to give you all sorts of information, especially on money and business matters.
