The factors that determine whether your house will sell are price, location, condition, marketing and market conditions. If these are in line then most competent agents can sell your house; whether that agent lists a dozen houses a year or five hundred!
A Mega Listing Agent may dazzle you during their listing presentation with how many properties they have sold. What many agents may not share is how many of their listings don't sell and/or wind up as expired listings. Some agent's statistics show a ratio of expireds to solds as high as two or three to one!
