Asking the Right Questions:

  • Experience with Relistings: Do they have a proven track record of successfully relisting properties? Ask for specific examples and data.

  • Marketing Strategies: What unique marketing tactics will they use to distinguish your relist from the competition?

  • Pricing Expertise: How will they determine a competitive but realistic asking price, considering your previous listing experience?

  • Communication Style: Can you envision open and transparent communication throughout the process?

  • Commission Structure: Understand their commission fees and any potential negotiation flexibility.


Red Flags to Watch Out for:

  • Empty Promises: Beware of agents who guarantee quick sales or unrealistically high prices. Focus on realistic timelines and data-driven strategies.

  • Lack of Specialization: While experience is key, look for agents who specialize in your local market and understand the nuances of relistings.

  • Poor Communication: Ensure they prioritize clear and regular communication, readily addressing your questions and concerns.

  • Limited Marketing Plan: A comprehensive marketing strategy is crucial. Avoid agents with vague or outdated marketing approaches.

  • Pressure Tactics: Don't succumb to unnecessary pressure to sign contracts or make rushed decisions. Trust your gut and choose an agent who empowers you.


Beyond Experience: Focusing on the Right Fit:

  • Personality compatibility: You'll be working closely with this agent, so prioritize someone you trust and have a good rapport with.

  • Responsiveness: Assess their attention to detail and ability to promptly answer your questions and address concerns.

  • Negotiation skills: A skilled negotiator can maximize your return and navigate complex situations effectively.

  • Technology savviness: In today's digital age, ensure they utilize modern technology for marketing, communication, and virtual tours.


Remember: Relisting is not a failure but rather an opportunity to refine your strategy. By choosing the right agent who aligns with your needs and expectations, you can navigate this journey with confidence and unlock the true potential of your home sale.


Additional Tips:

  • Get recommendations: Ask friends, family, and neighbors for referrals to trustworthy agents with local expertise.

  • Schedule multiple consultations: Don't settle for the first agent you meet. Interview several individuals to find the best fit. Be sure to include us in your search. You won't be disappointed!

  • Read online reviews: Check agent profiles and reviews on reputable platforms to gain insights into their past performance and client feedback.

  • Trust your instincts: Ultimately, the decision is yours. Choose an agent who inspires confidence and empowers you throughout the selling process.


With the right agent by your side, your relisting journey can be transformative, leading you to a successful sale and achieving your desired outcome. Good luck!
