Searching for a Lowcountry listing agent to represent your property can feel overwhelming, and it’s hard to know what sets apart the best from all the rest. What qualities should you be looking for? What’s the industry standard? Choosing a real estate partner is the most important decision you will make during the buying and selling process, so it’s vital to select the right one. One tool that can make the whole process much simpler is considering the Total Sales Volume of the agent or team you’re interested in working with. Read on to learn why Total Sales Volume is one of the most helpful metrics you can use to identify a high-performing listing agent for your home.

Why does Total Sales Volume matter?
Total Sales Volume refers to the total dollar amount of the homes and homesites that a real estate team or agent has sold. While the sales volume of a single home transaction is the final value that the home sells for, the Total Sales Volume represents every transaction in a certain period of time, usually within a quarter. This number matters because it’s ultimately a metric of how successful an agent is when tasked with selling a home. High sales volume means the agent or team excels at identifying the true market value of homes, setting competitive pricing, creating buzz through dynamic marketing, and ultimately, selling homes for the best possible price.
On that note, it’s important to take a close look at transaction numbers posted from several different years as the market is constantly changing. A top-performing team constantly studies the market in order to remain ahead of the curve and identify when it’s time to adjust and try something new. If sales volume remains high over a number of years, that’s a good sign that the agent or team knows how to remain flexible and creative, has built a strong and reliable network of relationships with buyers and other agents, and has the ability to get the job done in a variety of market conditions.
