Real Estate Agents Aren’t All the Same ⚖️👀

The Only Thing Worse Than Pricing Your Home Wrong…

…is realizing you trusted the wrong person to help you sell it.

Let’s just name what you’re carrying:

Selling your home isn’t just a transaction.
It’s your memories stacked in boxes. 📦
It’s the nervous energy of the next chapter staring you in the face.

You’re cleaning, packing, fixing things from 2017…
trying to time everything just right…
while juggling work, school pickups, dinner, and dogs.

And then someone says:
“You should interview agents.”

Honestly?
It can feel like your plate is already overflowing… and someone hands you a side dish and says, “You’ll need this too.”

But here’s the thing:

Interviewing isn’t about being difficult.
It’s about being deliberate.
It’s about protecting your peace — and the future you’re walking toward.

What Most People Don’t Realize

Agents aren’t employees.
They’re independent business owners.

Some show up polished, prepared, and intentional…
and some show up like they got lost on the way to their shift at In-N-Out. 🍔

Same industry.
Totally different experience.

And here’s the part nobody says out loud:

Most people don’t hire the better agent — they hire the first one they talk to.

Not because it’s smart…
but because they’re tired.

But you?
You’re stepping into the next chapter of your life… and people like you don’t sleepwalk through six-figure decisions.

Take pricing strategy:

One agent walks in with a stack of MLS printouts, circles a number like a magician’s reveal, and calls it “strategy.”

Another evaluates your home room by room, considers your upgrades, studies the numbers like they actually live here — and builds a launch plan that feels custom, not copy-paste.

Same market.
Different planets.

And if your brain whispers, “I’ve got a referral — I’m good,” hold up. ✋

Referrals can be golden.
But sometimes they’re like that sweater you got when you were eight — you smiled, said thank you… and hid it so deep in the closet even Narnia couldn’t find it.

👉 Referrals are a great starting point.
They’re not a hiring point.

ACTION STEP 🎬

One Question That Changes Everything

Start your interviews with:

“Can you walk me through a time your strategy actually changed the outcome for a seller?”

If they say, “I got $30K over asking!” — cool.
That’s a headline, not a strategy.

Follow with:

“What exactly did you do to get there?”

If they can’t explain it simply, they’re not leading your sale — they’re just riding it.

Bottom Line

You’ve built something real.
You’ve cared for it.

And when it’s time to sell, that story deserves more than a rush job and a yard sign. 🏡

You deserve strategy that fits your life.
You deserve a guide who actually gives a damn.

So don’t default to fast.
Don’t settle for familiar.
And don’t confuse polite with powerful.

You choose.

Because your next chapter deserves better.
And so do you.
