Why is there only one option when selecting the listing agent?
Houzeo receives numerous requests from listing agents to join our network. However, we are highly selective and thorough in our vetting process to ensure we partner with only the most qualified agents. Our focus is on providing exceptional service to our home sellers, and we partner with brokers who have demonstrated a strong track record and positive customer reviews.
Here’s why you may see only one agent option:
Rigorous Selection Process: We carefully screen and select agents based on their performance, client feedback, and overall reputation. Our goal is to ensure that every agent we partner with has a proven ability to assist you effectively, and all our agents maintain ratings above 4.8/5.
Customer-Centric Approach: We prioritize partnering with brokers who already have excellent reviews and a strong presence online. This helps us guarantee that you receive high-quality service and support throughout your listing process.
Coverage and Cost Efficiency: With approximately 600 MLSs across the U.S., it’s challenging to have multiple agents in every MLS, particularly as joining and maintaining an MLS presence involves significant costs. To balance coverage and cost, we ensure at least one highly-rated listing agent is available in each MLS area.
By maintaining this focused approach, Houzeo ensures you have access to top-tier agents who are well-equipped to assist you, while also managing our resources effectively.
