what does a good sellers agent actually look like?

Looking for first hand experience. My home has been on the market for over 200 days and I am beginning to question my agent's abilities.

I have followed all of his advice, when we first priced it, he said 310, I thought it was a but high for our area but trusted him, every time he suggested a drop, I went with it and we have since dropped it to 270k, below what I purchased for and what the house is worth. It needs no major repairs and there's nothing wrong with the house, just relocated for work.

TBF, it is a more unique house (built in window catio, stock tank pool etc) and I know the market is tough right now so I don't mind patience for the right person but he's pushing back on everything I am suggesting like maybe trying staging instead of relying on ai and virtual pics etc. and just giving me feedback on things I cant really change like the grade of the driveway (the house is built into the side of a mountain).

I don't want to be ageist, he's 21 and I am now starting to wonder if the lack of experience is holding us back? I asked his strategy and it seems like he's relying almost exclusively on zillow lurkers. What does a solid agent actually do?

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...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
