So, why don't you just hire me directly?" Shokoofeh Lee,

Unfortunately they only fool some of the sellers, but an agent like you wasn't fooled. Congratulations on going with a GMAC office, they sound like they would work hard for you, not simply rely on "I'm the best and I deserve the listing".

Larry Hi Lee,

I pick #1...because I think this couple will give you all the service you need to get the job done. They're even going overboard with wanting to do some painting for you. That's an indication to me that they will do what it takes to sell your home. The attorney can take care of the paperwork. What you need is agressive Realtors who know the market and they might be hungrier than the others! Good luck!

Just my opinion! Peggy I, Lee, would go with #3 because you live out of town and SHE will get it SOLD -of course another company will probably bring the offer and so what – it will still be sold.

Sounds like the first team has more of this time. Good Luck, Lucy Hi Lee,

If I might ask, have you tried googling the agents as well? That might provide a little more insight into the different agents, especially their marketing techniques considering that there's a year's worth of inventory right now. And in the end, I guess it's going to be a matter of who you feel most comfortable with and who will be most proactive in helping to sell the home, especially since you're not in the area. Please keep us updated on how they follow up with you, what you decide, and how it goes. Best wishes! Jean Hi Lee,
