Will a listing agent help me sell my home?

9.5 out of 10 listing agents don't sell their own listings.

Listed properties sell because a "buyers agent" brought a buyer to the table usually after finding your property in a local database. The sad part about this is the "listing agent" typically gets half of the 6% commission for simply inputting your property information into the local database where the buyers agent found your listing.

Remember, If they are 'top listing agent' of the month, in most cases they are bottom 'selling agent' of the month.
