Listing Agents
Many real estate agents will select a certain neighborhood or area of town to concentrate their efforts on. This is the area that they will study carefully and is often the area they themselves live in. They will know about the quality of the local schools, availability of shopping, recreational opportunities and other features that a potential buyer is likely to ask about. Sellers want to know that an agent is familiar with the area and is likely to do the best job of marketing for them. The home owner who has added special features or equipment to a home wants to be assured that a listing agent will recognize the benefits of that feature in comparison to other homes currently for sale in the area.
