  5. 5. Can you provide examples of recent home sales in my area?

  6. 6. How will you determine the appropriate listing price for my property? What factors will you consider, and can you provide a comparative market analysis (CMA) to support your recommended price?

  7. 7. How do you communicate with your clients throughout the selling process? What can I expect in terms of updates and feedback?

  8. 8. Do you have a team that you work with? Who will be handling the various aspects of the selling process, such as marketing, paperwork, and negotiations?
