How to Choose the Right Agent
Questions to ask when interviewing listing agents
What's your marketing plan?
Every home deserves professional marketing. Ask specifically what services are included.
How do you determine price?
A good agent uses data, not guesses. They should show you comparable sales and explain their methodology.
What's your communication style?
Make sure their availability and preferred communication match your expectations.
How long have you been selling here?
Local market knowledge is invaluable. Experience in Marquette County matters.
Can I see recent sales?
Ask for examples of homes they've sold. Look at list-to-sale price ratios and days on market.
What makes you different?
Every agent has strengths. Find one whose approach aligns with your needs.
Representation FAQs
What's included in your commission?
Everything: professional photography, video, marketing, showings, negotiations, transaction management, and ongoing support. No hidden fees or nickel-and-diming.
Can I sell my home myself (FSBO)?
You can, but studies show FSBO homes sell for an average of 18-24% less than agent-listed homes. You also take on liability and significant time investment. Most FSBO sellers eventually list with an agent.
What if I'm unhappy with your service?
Dawn wants you to be completely satisfied. If you're ever unhappy, let's talk about it. Her goal is a successful sale and a happy client.
How often will we communicate?
Dawn provides weekly updates at minimum, plus immediate contact after showings and any significant developments. You'll never wonder what's happening.
