These next two advantages have nothing to do with me personally, but with how many homes I sell. Favor is often given to offers from agents who sell lots of properties. During the course of finding a home and during the escrow, there are many opportunities for your agent to maximize your interests. Many of the issues only come up every few dozen transactions and they change so frequently that if your agent isn't cycling through a few dozen transactions a year they just can't be prepared for anything the way agent who sells dozens a year is. Experience matters, but selling six homes a year for the last ten years won't benefit you like selling 40 homes a year will. An agent who sells 10 homes a year has the competency level one can achieve by selling 10 homes a year…and an agent selling dozens of homes a year has the competency level once achieves from that accumulation of experiences. Imagine if you were in the shoes of the agent representing the seller and had an offer from an agent who sells 10 homes a year and an offer from one who sells dozens. You would assume the agent who is a top producer wouldn't be working with a buyer who might not complete the transaction. You would also assume that the transaction would also go much smoother with the more effective agent. For these reasons, often, favor is given to the agent who sells lots of homes. Magically, if there are multiple offers, producing agents usually win. |
