🤔 10 Questions Every Seller Should Ask Their Agent

Choosing the right estate agent can be the difference between a quick sale and a frustrating wait — or between getting your asking price and leaving money on the table.

But most sellers don’t ask the right questions.

At Citizenz Properties LTD, we welcome these conversations — because when you know what to ask, you can spot the difference between a good agent and a great one.

Here are 10 smart questions every seller should ask before signing with an agent.

1. 💬 What’s your experience in my area?

You want someone who knows the local market inside-out.
Not just the postcodes — but buyer behaviour, pricing trends, and what’s selling right now.

2. 🏷️ How will you price my property — and why?

A good agent doesn’t just guess.
They’ll back up their price with recent sold data, demand trends, and comparable listings.

3. 📸 What marketing strategy will you use?

If they just say “Rightmove,” run.

You want:

  • Professional photos

  • Targeted online ads

  • Social media exposure

  • Email campaigns

  • Local outreach

4. 🕐 How quickly will you launch my listing?

Timing is everything.
Ask for a timeline — including when photos will be taken, listing live date, and when viewings will start.

5. 🔍 Who will handle viewings and enquiries?

Will it be the agent themselves, or a team member you’ve never met?

You want a point of contact who’s:

  • Responsive

  • Professional

  • Knows your home’s value

6. 📉 What’s your plan if it doesn’t sell straight away?

The right agent will have a Plan B — and C.

Ask about:

  • Pricing reviews

  • Marketing tweaks

  • Feedback systems

7. 💼 What’s included in your fee — and what’s extra?

Transparency is key.
Ask for a full breakdown of:

  • Marketing

  • Photography

  • Admin

  • Legal support

8. 🧠 How do you qualify buyers?

You don’t want time-wasters.
A great agent will pre-screen viewers to check they’re serious and financially ready.

9. 📲 How often will you update me — and how?

Weekly calls? Text updates? Access to a dashboard?

Communication builds trust — and helps you stay in control.

10. 🤝 Why should I choose you over another agent?

This one separates the best from the rest.
Look for passion, results, and proof they go the extra mile.
