Today’s sellers require an agent who serves as a strategic partner to guide them through the selling process and help get their home in front of a large audience of potential buyers.

 

Eighty-nine percent of sellers list with an agent, and they value an agent’s ability to bring interested buyers to the home above all. Sellers also find their agent’s ability to guide them through the process of selling lead contract negotiations and take photographs of their home to be very or extremely valuable.

 

While over one-third of sellers are attempting to try and go it alone without this strategic partner, challenges lead many of them to eventually enlist the help of an agent. Ultimately, only 11 percent of sellers sell their home without partnering with an agent.

 

 

 

Trust Is a Big Deciding Factor

 

How do I find the right agent?

Finding the right realtor can be pain staking nearly one-third of sellers who use an agent to sell their home say it’s challenging to find that right strategic partner. Similar to buyers, sellers frequently find their listing agent through referrals, online resources or past experiences with this agent.

Sellers want responsive, knowledgeable agents they feel they can trust. The seller’s 1st impression of the agent’s trustworthiness is the top factor they use to decide which agent to use. Also their impression of the agent’s responsiveness. This mirrors the same requirements buyers have.

 

The agent’s local market knowledge is also important to a seller. Sellers typically find agent’s in their local real estate market knowledge to be important in helping them decide which agent to work with, and nearly 3 in 4 sellers also rate a positive reputation in the community as important.If the agent doesn’t have a track record of success. Sellers indicate that having a strong sales history is important in helping them to decide between agents.

 

Clues to whether an agent is trustworthy or has a good track record can be found in the online reviews left by other sellers. Half of sellers find online reviews and ratings of the agent to be important in helping them decide which agent to work with.

Ask how you can receive up to $20,000 in closing costs when using D.R. Horton’s preferred lender! Welcome to the Jordan — a thoughtfully designed two-story where space, flexibility, and everyday function come together in one of NW Rochester's most connected new-construction communities. Step inside to 9-foot main-floor ceilings and an open, light-filled layout built for real life. The kitchen anchors the level with generous counter space and a walk-in pantry, flowing into a dining area and a family room where large lifetime-warranty windows frame the room and a gas fireplace sets the tone. What sets the Jordan apart is the main-floor bedroom — a genuinely rare, useful touch that works as a guest room, in-law space, or quiet home office. Off the garage, a spacious mudroom keeps lockers, boots, and the daily shuffle in order. Upstairs, an extra-wide staircase opens to four bedrooms — each with its own walk-in closet — plus a full hall bath and a dedicated upper-level laundry room (no more hauling baskets between floors). The owner's suite is the retreat it should be: a soaking tub and separate shower, dual Quartz-topped vanities, and two walk-in closets. Need room to grow? The unfinished lower level is ready for another 1,069+ finished square feet — picture a sixth bedroom, full bath, and a wide-open family room, built out on your timeline. Then there's the setting. Badger Heights sits minutes from the Mayo Clinic, with Badger Hills Park a short walk away and Costco, Hy-Vee, Kwik Trip, and the Rochester Athletic Club all close at hand. Quick access via West Circle Drive to Highways 14 and 52 keeps the rest of town easy. Families are zoned for Rochester Public Schools — Sunset Terrace Elementary, Dakota Middle, and John Marshall High. Hardi-board accents up front add curb appeal, sod and irrigation are already in, smart-home technology comes standard, and there's no HOA.
