Selling in Penticton — your questions, answered from the data
The seller typically pays both agents out of the sale proceeds — the ~3.56% covers your listing agent and the buyer’s agent, unless your listing agreement says otherwise.
Interview three agents who have recently sold homes like yours. The full process takes a few hours and typically pays for itself many times over:
- Build a shortlist of three. Start from this ranking — it counts only verified reviews from Penticton sellers and weights recent ones — and add any referral you trust, then check that referral’s seller reviews too.
- Read each agent’s newest seller reviews, not their star average. Almost every agent averages near 4.9, so what actually separates them is recent seller results with homes like yours — your price range, your property type, your neighbourhood.
- Ask each agent for their listing package before you meet — the marketing plan, comparable sales, and fee breakdown — so you’re comparing all three like for like.
- Interview all three with the same questions: How did you arrive at your suggested price? What does your marketing include beyond the MLS? How often will I hear from you — and will I be working with you or a team member?
- Be wary of the highest suggested price. An inflated number is a classic way to win the listing, followed by price cuts later. Ask each agent to defend their price against the comparables they brought.
- Before you sign, read the listing agreement: the commission (negotiable — no law sets it), the length of the term, and how you can end it if the relationship isn’t working.
The basics every listing agent should cover:
- Price the home against recent comparable sales
- Prepare the listing — photos, description, MLS placement
- Market it and manage showings and open houses
- Screen buyers and negotiate offers
- Manage conditions and paperwork through closing
Possible extras to ask about before signing — some agents include them, some bill them:
- Professional staging — physical or virtual
- Photography upgrades — drone/aerial shots, video tours, 3D walkthroughs, floor plans
- A pre-listing inspection
- Cosmetic repairs and handyman work — some offer fix-now, pay-at-closing programs
- Cleaning, decluttering and junk removal
- Yard work and curb-appeal touch-ups
- Moving services — some agents include a moving van or movers
- Guarantees — cancel-anytime or performance guarantees; ask exactly what’s promised in writing
Tip: ask each agent for their listing package before you meet — the marketing plan, comparable sales, fee breakdown — so you’re comparing like for like.
