You probably already know that.
And it’s probably the reason you’re wondering which agent will look out for your best interests.
After all, you’re moving out of your area and need to maximize your proceeds.
Let us know if this sounds familiar…
- You’re afraid that the agent you pick will only care about their commission.
- You think most agents will “smooth talk” you to try to earn your business.
- You’re worried that your agent will intentionally under or overprice your home.
- You’re concerned that your agent won’t prioritize your sale.
- You’re fearful of getting stuck with the wrong agent.
We know that trusting an agent to get you the maximum price is nerve-wracking.
This is the reason why some sellers base their decision on one or more of these three things:
- Online reviews
- Number of homes sold in their area
- Referral from a friend or family member
Could you base your decision on an agent’s reviews?
Sure.
But the problem with only relying on online reviews is they’re…
- Based on emotion (which is great for a restaurant review, but not good enough when selling your most important asset)
- Either too negative or too positive (which means you’re not getting a complete picture of the typical or average experience)
- Prone to bias (with untrustworthy agents offering gift cards or other incentives to entice past clients to leave a positive review)
Could you base your decision on how many homes an agent has sold in your area?
Yes.
But the fact that an agent has experience selling in your area doesn't mean they'll look out for your best interests.
Many of these agents are prioritizing their commission and focusing their energy on finding their next sale.
How about trusting a friend’s recommendation?
You could.
But the problem?
Just because they’re recommended doesn't mean they have a track record of looking out for their clients best interests (more on this in a minute).
Finding an agent you can count on to get you the best price shouldn’t be so difficult.
But don’t lose hope – a reputable agent best matched to sell your exact home can get you a remarkable price.
We’ve seen all kinds of homeowners sell for record-breaking prices…
...and we want to show you how YOU can do the same. Even in a shifting market.
What if you hired an agent who actually cared about maximizing your proceeds?
Maybe you could…
- Feel more secure and confident about your future
- Move on to the next stage of your life with less stress
- Boost your retirement account
That’s what the best real estate agents can do for you.
Emphasis on BEST.
At SoldNest, we believe the best real estate agent is the one who has a reputable track record and best matched to sell your exact home.
And they’re reputable and best matched because they have a combination of:
- Relevant selling experience
- A track record of only representing the seller (and not the seller and buyer in the same transaction)
- The capacity to make you a top priority
- A performance history that shows they don’t over or underprice the homes they sell
- The right marketing plan
- Raving feedback from previous clients
- The integrity to not lock you into a contract
Those 7 things are key to getting a real estate agent who will put you in the best position to sell for the maximum price — fast.
This is what you get when you leverage our exclusive network of the very best listing agents.
We know what you’re thinking…
“All real estate agents and websites say they're the best.”
This is true.
But we’re different because agents have to meet every one of our requirements before they’re allowed to join our exclusive network.
We receive applications every day from agents across the country and turn down many because they don’t pass our qualifications.
Plus...
- It doesn't cost you anything
- There’s no obligation
- You won’t get a sales pitch
How we qualify your best agents for you
Think of how we can help you hire the best real estate agent like this…
You’re going to meet with a realtor before hiring them.
And during that meeting, you’re going to have questions...
- Will they look out for my best interests?
- How do I know they won’t over or underprice my home?
- How do I know if their marketing plan is good?
- Will they put in their best effort and prioritize my sale?
- Do they have experience selling homes in my area and around my price point?
Our vetting process dramatically swings these answers in your favor.
This means that the hard part of qualifying an agent is done for you.
Here’s how…
Will they look out for my best interests?
Can you ever really know if an agent will look out for your best interests?
No.
But there’s one very important agent stat that can help answer this question.
The percentage of an agents sales where they’ve represented both the seller and the buyer in the same transaction.
You should avoid the real estate agents who have a suspicious number of these sales.
Read that again because it’s extremely important.
If you want to sell for the best price…
You need a local agent who does not have a track record of prioritizing a higher commission over a higher sale price.
An agent cannot represent your interests (and negotiate for you) if they also represent the buyer.
But they do get more commission (the commission you pay to your agent and the commission you pay to the buyer’s agent).
We eliminate these agents for you.
How?
By analyzing MLS data to see which agents have a disturbing number of sales where they’ve represented both the seller and buyer.
We only allow agents to join our network if they have a proven track record of representing the seller only.
Like this…
How do I know they won’t over or underprice my home?
You don’t.
But their performance history can tell you if they do.
We compare an agents sold-to-list price ratio against other agents in your county.
An agent with an inflated ratio means they have a track record of undepricing.
An agent with a ratio far lower than other agents means they intentionally overprice.
We only allow agents to join SoldNest if their transaction history shows they don’t do either of these.
How do I know if their marketing plan is good?
We do this for you.
It’s part of our interview process with an agent before onboarding them.
We ensure their approach is what you need to maximize the reach to prospective buyers.

Will they put in their best effort and prioritize my sale?
A highly skilled agent who is giving your sale their full attention will increase your chances of making more money (and make the process easier).
We make sure you get this by doing these two things:
- Analyzing their online reviews
- Ensuring the agent will offer a no-contract commitment
Not being locked into a contract with an agent is critical.
Why?
Because the agent selling your home is no longer guaranteed a commission.
Here’s how that works...
You’ll sign an agreement with your agent (all sellers do) once you think you’ve found the perfect match.
The agreement is exclusive (usually for ~6 months but negotiable) and doesn’t give you the option to cancel.
This gives your agent the security of a commission check and invites the busy ones to put your sale on the back burner.
Having the option to cancel prevents this from happening.
We make this a guarantee so you can have peace of mind knowing that your agent will put in their maximum effort.
Do they have experience selling homes in my area and around my price point?
This is where the magic happens.
Our recommendation engine instantly matches you with the three agents in our network who have the most relevant selling experience.
We base this relevancy on agents who have experience selling:
- In your area

- Homes that are similar in size to yours
