I once heard what I thought was great advise in picking out a realtor.

Drive past the 3 closest realestate offices to your home and look at the parking signs in their parking lot they all have them. There will be two one with the name of last months top selling agent in the office and the other with the name for the top listing agent in the office. If you do this a couple of months before you are ready to list your home you will see that the same names will pop up most of the time these are the producers. The one you want to list your home with is the top selling agent in the office. This agent will be happy to list your home even though this agent doesn't work at listings they work at showing and selling homes. This is the agent that will show your home (their listing) before they show others listings. The top sellers get more prospects and sell more than the listing specialist who works at getting listings.

Remember that when a realtor sells their own listing they don't have to split the commission with another realtor. That is the reason you want to list your home with the top sales producer in your area. And it is important to have a realtor whose office is in your area.

Just a thought.
