This isn’t just a sale—it’s your biggest asset. Don’t trust it to someone who’s just “nice.”
This might be the biggest mistake of them all—and it happens more often than you think. Too many sellers hire the wrong agent because they’re in a rush, they don’t feel like interviewing multiple people, or they just go with a friend or family member because it feels “easier.”
Here’s the problem: the wrong agent can cost you thousands, waste months of your time, and leave you with regrets long after the deal is done.
Maybe they don’t price it right.
Maybe they have zero marketing plan.
Maybe they don’t know how to negotiate.
Or maybe they’re just not that experienced—and you become their learning curve.
Studies have shown that over 70% of real estate agents only sell one home a year. That means most of them aren’t sharp, aren’t active, and don’t have a strong buyer pool. And if they don’t have other listings? That’s a red flag—because agents with listings attract more buyers. Period.
Also—please don’t list your home just because the agent was “super nice.” This is your biggest investment. You don’t need a new best friend. You need a strategic, seasoned pro who will fight for your price, protect your interest, and know how to handle every detail.
House Karma Tip:
Don’t just call the first 2 or 3 names you see.
Do your homework:
- Ask how many homes they’ve sold in the last 12 months
- Look up their listings—do the photos, tours, and marketing actually look professional?
- Check their reviews and their rank in the MLS
- Ask what tools and systems they’ll use to attract buyers
The right agent won’t just list your home. They’ll sell it smart, fast, and for top dollar.
At House Karma, we’ve already vetted and trained the agents we work with. Every one of them is required to follow our standards, use top-tier marketing, and have real, proven experience. Because who you hire matters—and we’re not here to gamble with your home.
