Why Working With a Top Real Estate Agent Matters When Selling Your Home
Selling your home is one of your biggest financial decisions. A top-rated real estate agent can influence your final sale price, days on market, marketing exposure, and how smooth the escrow process feels.

Read Verified Reviews and Ratings Online
Check the agent’s reputation across platforms like Google Reviews, Zillow, Realtor.com, the Coldwell Banker profile, and local Facebook groups. Look for consistency in professionalism, negotiation strength, and communication.
