Your listing agent may not show your home.
The agent you have listed your home has many jobs and responsibilities that they must perform in order to get your home sold. Something interesting you may find during the course of your listing is that your listing agent may never show the home to prospective buyers themselves. Listing agents understand this and that is why they work diligently to market your home to other agents as well as potential homebuyers.
While the listing agent may not show the home, they are instrumental in getting the home shown. Their work results in buyers and buyer agents hearing about the home, which results in showings and offers. With hundreds or even thousands or real estate agents in a specific market area, listing agents spend a considerable amount of time promoting your home to these agents everyday.
Your listing agent also is in charge of making sure your home is receiving exposure in print and online media where the home buyers are. The goal is to get your home is front of as many buyer eyeballs as possible so that these buyers will call their agents and asked for more information on your home or to ask their agent to schedule a showing for them.
So while your listing agent may never show your home, it is through their efforts that your home ends up being shown to qualified homebuyers and because of the listing agent’s work, your home receives and offer that results in a sale.
