It is a pleasure to answer this question because I am a Huntington Beach Realtor who stands out from all the rest.

There are many estate agents you can hire to sell your Huntington Beach home, but which one is right for you?

Certainly, not all real estate agents are the same.  You might have a family member that is an agent who you can trust, but they are not an expert in your area… and they do not do very many sales.  In your neighborhood there are new agents who have closed no sales, and a few older agents who have closed 100s.  Some agents are very nice, and others who are not as nice.  Some agents will tell you to just sell your property “as-is”, and others will help you prepare your home for the market recommending improvements that have a positive return on investment.  Some agents use an old phone to take pictures, and others use a professional photographer to create an amazing image package for their listings.  Some agents just input the home into the Realtor MLS and do no other advertising.  A few top agents have a 12 channel advertising program to ensure all the best buyers learn about the property.

So, when choosing a real estate agent to sell your Huntington Beach home, you can consider their experience, reputation, and services. You can also research their marketing plan and ask for a list of recent clients.
