I found the pointers in Steve’s course particularly helpful, especially the interview questions. It was down to two agents, one of whom was very persistent, but also very professional, however his market estimation was about $20k below where I felt it should be after reviewing RPData recent sales.

The other stood our because he immediately brought to my attention some potential buyer objections that the others failed to mention or had to be prompted to volunteer. I haven;t seen the property for some time, but I was impressed by his attention to detail.

The interview questions and their responses really helped me settle my mind on which agent to go with. The winning agent still had some weaknesses, but I can work with those by vetting advertising copy and so on.
