I'm always intrigued by sellers who decide to list their home based on the top ranking of an agent.
Yup, the sign has their name and you may meet this person at the listing appointment but after that, it all goes to the administrative office help. I'm not saying it's wrong, it needs to be handled this way when you have 50-100 plus listings.
I agree you want a great agent but why not pick an agent in that top 10% rather than top 1%. Better to have hands on service dedicated to selling your home.
When I was new so many years ago and would go out on a listing appointment and find out my competition was one of the top big hitters, I worried I could never get a listing away from such a huge Realtor. As time went on, it became clear what I have to offer over that top agent with the teams.
I'm hands on and in that top 3-5% depending on the year. I admit to being a workaholic and a bit of a control freak. I handle all details and have decided to keep my business manageable so I can provide concierge style service to my clients.
I now enjoy competing with the jumbo agents and is rare to not get a listing. There is something to be said by providing VIP service ...........making every client the most important person in my business and mean it.
