What is a seller’s agent?

A seller’s agent is a real estate professional (a Realtor, a real estate agent or a real estate broker) who helps prepare and list a property for sale (the latter being the reason they’re also known as listing agents). They represent the person selling a property and must work in their best interests.

Seller’s agents handle many tasks involved with selling a home, including:

  • Helping you analyze the market to figure out if it is a good time to sell
  • Giving you advice for maximizing your property’s value
  • Connecting you with other professionals to help prepare or improve your home
  • Staging your home
  • Listing your home on multiple listing services
  • Helping you price your home
  • Marketing the home: running tours, organizing open houses
  • Serving as the go-between in negotiations with buyers
  • Drawing up the purchase agreement

Who does a seller’s agent represent?

A seller’s agent’s job is to represent the current homeowners who are putting their property on the market. Many agents, especially Realtors, subscribe to a fiduciarylike code of ethics, which requires them to disclose compensation amounts, be open and honest in all dealings, and to always put their clients’ interest first, ahead of their own.
However, there are some cases where a seller’s agent may represent more than just the seller.
