Your Listing Agent Needs this Underrated Skill
Last month, 15% of U.S. home sales fell apart before closing. (Redfin)
Why?
Most of the time it came down to misaligned expectations, inspection disputes, and weak communication.
That's why we think the most underrated quality in an agent right now is the ability to hold a deal together.
We're talking about:
1. Staying composed if the inspection report reveals major issues.
2. Catching contract errors or missing disclosures.
3. Coordinating details across lenders, inspectors, and attorneys with precision.
4. Recognizing early signs of buyer hesitation and addressing them head-on (with composure).
5. Ensuring every document, timeline, and contingency is clean and compliant.
Google "real estate agent near me" and you'll have thousands of results to choose from.
But before you do, make sure they have the experience needed to keep the deal together.
If the answer's no, keep looking. :)
