Choosing real estate agent - inexperienced ok? Same for sale & purchase?

My partner and I are planning to sell his home and purchase a new home.

Long story short - we are thinking about working with an acquaintance of mine as our agent for the sale. Cons: she’s relatively inexperienced and has only been doing real estate part time for about a year. Pros: I trust her, she knows the area, and she has demonstrated that she’s hard-working and willing to ask questions of others when she’s unsure about something (ex: finding comps, for my partner house is difficult for a variety of reasons). Question: how much should it matter that she’s inexperienced if she’s willing to work hard?

The other part of this question is that I’m not sure we should work with her for the purchase of a new house. I don’t think she knows the area we’re looking in very well but my partner thinks it’s more important that we use the same agent for the sale and purchase since we need to time it just right.

Honestly, this whole process has me very nervous and I’m very afraid of making the “wrong” choice.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
