Hire a Real Estate Agent Who Sells Houses

Ellen Cook June 4, 2025

Be sure you hire a Real estate agent who actually sells houses! Hint. Like me!

In 2024, 71% of Real Estate Agent closed zero transactions. Read that again. SEVENTY ONE PERCENT - this is a staggering statistic that highlights the competitive and often unpredictable nature of real estate. What does this mean for buyers and sellers? Simply put: experience matters now more than ever. 
 
For Buyers: Today’s market is still defined by low inventory, fluctuating interest rates, and fierce competition for well-priced homes. An agent who hasn’t actively navigated these challenges won’t have the skills to craft a winning offer, negotiate terms, or identify opportunities others miss. A seasoned agent who is in the field daily brings market knowledge, strategic connections, the ability to pivot quickly when the right home hits the market, and even sometimes the ability to find the right home *before* it hits the market.
 
For Sellers: An inactive and unexperienced agent can cost you valuable time and money. Pricing, marketing, staging, and negotiation all require real-world experience, not just a license. The right agent knows how to ensure your home stands out, attracts serious buyers, and closes smoothly. 
 
I am in homes every day and am having conversations with other active agents to share knowledge, market insights, and best practices. And did you know our contracts change two times per year? If your agent hasn’t sold a house in a year there’s a good chance he or she isn’t up to date on the newest requirements, which could end up being very costly for you as the client. Long story short, if you’re thinking about making a move, let’s talk about how my experience and expertise can get you the results you deserve.
