How to Choose a Listing Agent in Union, Kentucky
What to look for in a Union listing agent, the questions to ask in an interview, and how to compare what each one would do for your home.
Key takeaways
- Interview more than one agent, and compare plans rather than promises.
- Ask for local results: homes sold near you, time on market and price against list.
- Ask exactly what the marketing includes and who does the work day to day.
- Commission is not set by law and is negotiable. Compare what is included as well as the rate.
- Be wary of a price that sounds high just to win the listing.
What matters most
- Local experience: recent sales in your area and price range.
- A pricing review built from comparable sales, with the comparables shown.
- A written marketing plan: MLS, professional media, advertising and a launch plan.
- Communication: how often you will hear from them, and how.
- Support: who handles showings, paperwork and the transaction day to day.

Questions sellers ask
How do I choose the right listing agent?
Interview more than one. Compare their local results, how they arrived at a price, their written marketing plan, how they will communicate, and what their commission includes.
Should I pick the agent who suggests the highest price?
Not on that basis alone. Ask how the price was built. A price that recent sales don’t support usually leads to reductions and a lower result.
Are real estate commissions negotiable?
Yes. Commission is not set by law and is agreed between you and the brokerage in the listing agreement.
