So what do numbers tell us?
On the average for every about 4 out of 5 homes the person who found the buyer was not the person who took the listing. The listing agent found the buyer for roughly 1 out of every 5 homes sold.
On the average the top ten listing agents are no better at finding buyers for the homes they list than the typical agent.
When you review the numbers above the most logical conclusion is to list your home with the person who can give you the best deal.
