You can look at someones resume and their listing dog and pony show all you want. However, I belive in all aspects of my life that I need to hire someone that produces the results that I need. When it comes to selling a home, I want you to know that I have a proven track record because in this market, you can't just hire anyone to sell your home. You have to rely on THE BEST to keep your home from sitting on the market and becoming stale.
Here is my realtor resume because really, this is all that matters in the end:

In a "Beauty Contest and Price War"
Todays buyer is in for a real estate buying treat. Unfortunatley, that can be at the sellers expense. The best way to get top dollar on your home sale is to make sure you are the "best dressed" house in your market and that you are priced "AT MARKET".
The days of slightly overpricing in hopes that you will get that one buyer that "has" to have your home are a thing of the recent distant memory.
Todays buyer is wanting the nicest home possible for the least amount of cash. In our economy, people are cautious of pulling the trigger on a $30,000.00 automobile much less a $150k home. Buyers are fewer and far between and real estate is like any "supply / demand" product.
The last piece of this puzzle is that you MUST hire a real estate professional, and not just the old school agent that sticks that sign in the yard and sits back and waits. You need an agent with an aggressive marketing campaign. One that is going to use print, internet, direct mail, direct email, 800 call capture technologies to name just a few.

Discount brokers
I was talking to a seller the other day.
They had been with a discount broker for over a year. They never got updates on the status of their home sale. Rarely were updated or called by their disount broker. Ultimatley, they felt that their agent didn't do anything to get their home sold.
My response to them was, "well, when the agent has little incentive to adequatley market your home then you kinda get what you pay for".
When I take a listing, I spendfrom $500 to $800 to market your home. In this market, putting a lawn sign out and crossing your fingers does notwork. Marketing will move your home.
In one case, I took an expired listing that had been on the market with a discount broker that didn't even advertise the sellers home in MLS. The sellers paid $2,500 UPFRONT for the "marketing" service that basically was a BuyOwner sign that was mailed out to them and a spot on their website that generated very little traffic. Never pay anyone upfront for a service that you are paying them to do which is to sell your home. I don't sell your home? I don't get paid.
