What happens when you meet with a potential listing agent? We discuss what an initial consultation looks like, and how you can best prepare.This will be my first time selling a house, and first time with a realtor. What should I expect from this meeting? Here's how to sell yours. Ask the realtor their past experience in working with investors, and how they could add maximum value to you. The initial consultation will take about an hour and when i get to the home we're going to sit down and talk for five minutes. The number one reason to sell your home without an agent's help is to avoid paying a real estate commission. Agents should be willing to show you properties that they have listed as well as other company listed property and property that is For Sale By Owner (FSBO's). It's your first meeting with a realtor to sell or buy your house.
