In my limited experience, the agent has little impact on the sale of the house. The driving factors are the house itself and the price.

Well, sometimes. When I was looking for a house to buy in TV I had an agent who worked for me long distance. My heart was set on a particular house and she went to check it out for me. She told me the house smelled moldy from the pool. That really turned me off. She recommended a couple of other properties.
Later, when I came to TV myself, and checked out her suggestions. They were much better than what I originally chose. But I also looked at an open house and that was the house that I wanted as my home. Unfortunately, the open house came with a different real estate agent. The first agent did not sell me a house BUT she kept me from making a mistake. I keep thinking of ways to thank her.
