Why Choosing the Cheapest Agent Could Be Your Most Expensive Mistake

Yes, I’m Aggressive And Your Advocate

Buying or selling a home is likely the biggest financial transaction of your life. Yet, many people make the mistake of comparing agents based on who charges the least.

The truth! Aggressive strategy, creative thinking, and educated guidance are what get you the results you deserve—not simply “I love working with people” and/orb offering you the lowest commission fee. This sounds nice and being personable is great and all, but sellers need more than friendliness—they need market expertise, negotiation skills, and a proven plan to maximize their sale price. Simply saying “I like working with people” doesn’t differentiate you from hundreds of other agents that dont offer real value or strategy in their repoirtoire. And neither is “I’ll charge you the lowest commission.” Yes, low commission fee sounds appealing upfront, but it often signals limited marketing, weak negotiation, and minimal resources to be able to offer that. Sellers who choose based on the lowest fee can end up losing thousands in net proceeds because the home isn’t marketed aggressively or negotiated strategically.

Try not to focus on these weak points becasue these agents:

focus on personality or price, not results.
don’t address how the agent will protect the seller’s equity or navigate complex negotiations.
fail to demonstrate value beyond cost.

When you choose me as your agent, you’re choosing someone who fights for your best interests, brings market expertise, negotiation power, and innovative marketing to the table. That’s how you protect your investment and maximize your outcome.

Let’s Talk … What Does “Cheap” Really Mean?

When you pick an agent solely because they charge the lowest commission, here’s what you might actually be buying:

Listing Agent – Someone who lists your homes and sits on it but is not actively marketing
Limited Marketing – Fewer professional photos, no staging, minimal online exposure.
Weak Negotiation – Lack of experience or confidence to fight for your best price.
Minimal Guidance – No strategic pricing, no data-driven advice, and little support during inspection or appraisal hurdles.
Time Delays – Homes that sit longer on the market often sell for less.

Cheap isn’t just about saving a few thousand dollars upfront—it can cost you tens of thousands in lost equity, missed opportunities, and stress.

What Will It Cost You?

Lower Sale Price – A poorly marketed home can sell for 5–10% less than its potential value.
Higher Risk – Weak contract terms can expose you to legal or financial pitfalls.
Lost Leverage – In competitive markets, an agent without aggressive strategy means you lose bidding wars or overpay.

The Smarter Choice

Your home deserves more than a discount approach. It deserves:

Aggressive Advocacy – Someone who negotiates fiercely for your interests.
Creative Marketing – Professional photography, staging, and targeted campaigns.
Educated Strategy – Data-driven pricing and proven negotiation tactics.

This isn’t about paying more—it’s about getting more. The right agent doesn’t cost you money; they make you money.
