It always seems that sellers want a "local" agent to list their home. While a agree with this statement, its the definition of local that seems to be a point of clarity. Just because some one lives in the very near geographical location to you home, does not mean they are the best agent to represent you.

Often sellers are better to hire a trained, professional, who is likey in high demand in more than just one small location.

For example, there are a lot of animal vets near my house, but I drive past them all to get to the best vet I have ever encountered from the best school out there. He cares for my pets in a manner that other vets will not. Again, being convenient is not always the same as being talented.

If more sellers were aware of the importance of hiring a trained, experienced, professional I think the housing market would mend a lot faster. Don't get me wrong you should not hire someone who is not knowledgeable about the area and the community. After all, location, location, location, always helps a property sell.

Moral of the story: Sellers should be more selective of the QUALITY of the agents they hire rather than the QUANITY of miles the live from the property. Always interview agents and hire the well trained, equiped agent, with whom you can get along well.
