I always suggest any listing appointment to get at least 3 different views from listing agents when I meet with them. It's hard to determine who has a better recipe...I just tell it like it is.

by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)

Neal- I agree good point, in fact I encourage in all my listing presentations for sellers to inquire and suggest they ask several and certain questions of the listing agent they interview, which should be a minimum of three.
