Top 3 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Listing Agent
Selling your home is a big decision — and choosing the right listing agent can make all the difference. A great agent doesn’t just list your home, they strategize, market, negotiate, and guide you through one of the most important transactions of your life.
So how do you find the right fit? Ask the right questions.
Here are the top 3 questions every seller should ask before hiring a listing agent — and a little insight into how I’d personally respond as someone who’s helped dozens of Central Florida homeowners sell with confidence and success.
1. “What’s your strategy to sell my home quickly and for top dollar?”
A confident agent should have a clear, tailored plan — not just generic steps like “putting it on Zillow.”
Here’s what I focus on for every listing:
Personalized staging and prep advice to help your home shine
A competitive pricing strategy based on real-time local comps
High-end marketing that includes professional photography, video, social media ads, and listing syndication
Leveraging my extensive network through Call It Closed and the broader Oviedo/Central Florida community to create early buzz
In 2024 alone, I closed over $19 million in sales — because I don’t just list homes, I launch them with intention.
2. “How will you communicate with me throughout the process?”
Selling your home can be overwhelming — especially if you're left wondering what’s happening behind the scenes.
As a former teacher, I believe that clarity, communication, and education are key. I make it a priority to:
Provide regular updates
Share detailed showing feedback and market response
Be easily reachable by text, phone, or email — you’ll never be left in the dark
Walk you through every step, so you know what’s happening and why
I treat every seller like they’re my only client — and my 5-star reviews reflect that.

3. “What sets you apart from other agents?”
Here’s what past clients say makes working with me different:
I’m in the Top 1% of Central Florida Realtors
I’ve lived in Oviedo for years, and I know these neighborhoods inside and out
I have strong relationships with other local agents, vendors, and buyers through my brokerage, Call It Closed
I bring the heart of a teacher, the strategy of a top producer, and the hustle of someone who genuinely loves what they do
I consistently go above and beyond — from first meeting to final closing
Final Thoughts
The right agent can make the difference between a smooth, profitable sale — and a stressful, drawn-out one. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, compare agents, and choose someone who brings clarity, strategy, and confidence to the table.
