Trust, experience, and skill but I would also pick someone who is skill at negotiating. By negotiating I am not talking about pounding the buyer the get every dollar out of them. I am talking about someone who knows how to keep negotiating going so the contract is signed and closed. Someone who understands that if I want to sale and the buyer wants to buy everyone keeps working till it is a win win situation. To often I see the agents get to involved in winning and losing themselves and lose the sale for the seller and buyer that just want it done. There are a lot of good agents that can do this but there are even more that do not get it. If you want me to pick one I would pick Jerry Hill.

I value honesty above most over traits. I've never met her IRL, but I would pick @JessicaHorton because she says the things out loud that I think. I value honesty above most over traits.

I would pick an agent that aligned with my personality and expectations.

I would pick someone with experience, ethics, sales ability, responsiveness, and understood Fiduciary duties. I would also want someone well established in the market where my home was located with relationships with the working real estate agents.

Someone like Kris & Steve Berg come to mind….

I would also be an obnoxious "back-seat agent"! I sold an out-of-my-area investment property 3 years ago and just about drove that agent to drink, but he was my (future) son-in-law, so I bought him the liquor! He was well-paid to put up with me, so all is well. I have several agent friends that I like and trust well enough to sell my house. I would also be an obnoxious “back-seat agent”!

Here in Hopkinton Beth Maguire would be my choice since in addition to being utterly trustworthy, she is the epitome of good-heartedness.

I am also probably the worst backseat driver in the history of backseat drivers, but where real estate is concerned, I use them to tell me what I'm missing, and what I haven't thought of, and then having a good cop/bad cop to get the deal done is a premium and worth every single penny.
