🤔 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.
