Be honest, would you rather hire Miss Congeniality or keep an extra $5–15K?

In Rocky Bayou, many sellers still believe hiring the “#1 agent” guarantees success. Big smiles, big ads, and “Top Producer” titles look safe, until you realize none of that raises your sale price or how much you keep.

Most sellers pick the agent they like most or the one who quotes the highest price. It feels good, but it’s rarely the smartest financial decision.

What Actually Sells Your Home

  1. Condition: Does your home show like it’s worth the price?

  2. Location: Are you leveraging Rocky Bayou’s specific buyer demand?

  3. Price: Is it positioned strategically, not emotionally?

  4. Cost: How much equity do you keep after commissions and concessions?

That last one, cost is where most sellers lose $5,000–$15,000. Uber Realty’s 1% listing model keeps that money in your pocket.

How to Choose the Right Agent (and Avoid the Costly Ones)

  1. Ask for math, not marketing.
    A good agent can show you net results, not just sold signs. Ask, “How much did your sellers actually keep?”

  2. Look at systems, not selfies.
    Anyone can buy ads or awards. What matters is pricing accuracy, showing strategy, and negotiation skill.

  3. Question the pricing promise.
    The agent who tells you the highest number usually plans to reduce it later. The right one brings proof, not flattery.

  4. Compare commission structures.
    Traditional agents charge 5–6%. Uber Realty lists at 1% and negotiates the buyer side smartly usually 2% total target.

  5. Decide like a CEO, not a fan.
    You’re running a six-figure sale. Choose the professional who maximizes your return, not the one who wins popularity contests.

Bottom line: Nice matters. Math matters more.
