CHECK OUT THIS LIST OF THINGS THAT'LL MAKE YOUR AGENT FALL HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE WITH YOU. AND, IF WE FALL HEAD OVER HEELS WITH YOU, THEN YOU WILL OBTAIN A QUICKER SALE!

1. Make sure your open house is pet-free

Barking dogs, loose hamsters, and roaming lizards are a huge turn-off to potential homebuyers. Securing your pets or taking them off-premises will mean the world to your agent, who probably has better things to do than herd your cats.

2. You'll show your home at a moment's notice

Because no one can predict when a buyer might want to see a home, sellers who are open to a last-minute showing make an agent's job that must easier. Letting interested parties take a tour when it's convenient for them may just sell your home that much faster, which is a win for everyone.

3. Commit to keeping your home clean

Nothing makes a house shine quite like keeping it clean and uncluttered. Ensuring your place is “show ready"—from the moment it's first listed until the closing—eliminates any worries your agent may feel as buyer agents and their clients come to view your house… and that peace of mind is priceless.

4. Take your agents advice

Whether it's about recommended staging, or an item that needs to be fixed before the home inspection, following the advice of your expert is beneficial for all parties. After all, you've hired a pro, so why not heed their wisdom and reap the rewards? After all, we don´t pretend to be a plumber so please don´t try to be a Realtor.

5. Refer your friends and family

Talking up your real estate agent to friends and family is the greatest gift you can give. Being a connector is a wonderful way to help your favorite agent build and grow their business. Go ahead, brag about how amazing your agent is; they'll adore you for it.
