Selling your home in the spring market can be challenging—especially in a buyer’s market like the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where inventory is high and multiple offers are rare. In this episode, we discuss the top 10 things you need to know when selecting a real estate agent and how to maximize your home’s sale potential in a competitive market.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ How to identify an agent with experience in the Mississippi Gulf Coast market
✅ Why pricing strategy is more important than ever in a buyer’s market
✅ How negotiation skills make a difference when multiple offers are rare
✅ The role of marketing—including professional photography, social media, and networking
✅ Staging expectations—why lower-priced homes are often left vacant, while high-end homes may benefit from staging
✅ Why switching agents may not help if the core issue is pricing or market conditions
✅ Seller incentives that can help attract buyers, including closing cost assistance and interest rate buydowns
✅ Understanding commission structures and contract terms before signing with an agent
Key Takeaways:
🔹 Not all agents are created equal—look for experience, marketing expertise, and negotiation skills
🔹 Multiple offers are not common—but a smart pricing and marketing strategy can still get your home sold fast
🔹 Staging is a function of price—homes below the median price are rarely staged, while higher-end homes may be
🔹 Switching agents won’t magically sell your home—if your current agent is using all the right tools, reassess price and strategy
🔹 Seller incentives can make a big difference in a buyer’s market
