*Watch the video below for all the details. For a short summary, continue reading.

The “List It and Leave It” Agent

• These agents promise the world, put a sign in your yard, and then… disappear.

• You don’t hear from them until there’s an offer (or worse, when the listing expires!).

Red Flag: If they don’t have a clear communication plan, walk away.

The “Guesswork” Agent

• Pricing a home isn’t about picking a number that “sounds good.”

• A great agent brings data—comparable sales, market trends, and a pricing strategy that gets you top dollar.

Red Flag: If they can’t justify their pricing strategy with hard data, they’re not the right fit.

The “Market Ignorant” Agent

• The market is constantly changing, and your agent needs to know how to adapt.

• They should understand why some homes sell for more, why others sit, and how to position your home strategically.

Red Flag: If they don’t provide a breakdown of local trends, they’re just guessing.

The “No Plan” Agent

• A professional agent has a proven process for selling homes, not just a hope and a prayer.

• Marketing, negotiation, and a strategy for adjustments if needed—this isn’t optional, it’s essential.

• Do they have a plan if your house doesn’t sell in the first 30 days? What happens if you aren’t getting any showings?

Red Flag: If they don’t have a step-by-step plan to sell your home, they’re not ready to represent you.

The “Silent Treatment” Agent

• Communication is key. You deserve to know what’s happening with your listing.

• You shouldn’t have to chase down your agent for updates.

• And they should be following up with other agents and potential buyers when they have questions about your home.

Red Flag: If they don’t set clear expectations for how and when they’ll communicate with you, they won’t be there when you need them most.

The “Desperate Discount” Agent

• Everyone wants to save money, but hiring an agent based on the lowest commission can backfire.

• A desperate agent who quickly discounts their commission might lack confidence, experience, and/or negotiation skills.

Red Flag: If they’re willing to undervalue their own services, how well do you think they’ll negotiate for YOU?

To find a great Flower Mound real estate agent, ask these critical questions:

• How long have you been in real estate, and what’s your track record?

• How do your listings compare to the average time on market?

• How do you determine the right price for my home?

• What’s your marketing plan to attract serious buyers?

• How will you keep me updated throughout the process?

• Can I fire you if I’m not happy with your service?

• What is your list to close ratio?

The right real estate agent is your biggest asset when selling your Flower Mound home.

• They need to be experienced, transparent, and have a solid strategy to get your home sold for top dollar.

• If you don’t trust them to tell you the truth—even when it’s tough to hear—it’s time to move on.
