What Sellers Can Expect from a Listing Agent
What Every Seller Should Expect From Their Listing Agent
Selling a home in Sarasota or Manatee County is a significant undertaking. The right agent doesn’t rely on luck or shortcuts — they rely on strategy, clear communication, and a marketing plan that actually reaches today’s buyers.
1. A Pricing Strategy Rooted in Real Market Data
Pricing a home correctly is both a science and an art. A strong listing agent studies absorption rates, pending activity, neighborhood trends, and buyer demand — and explains the strategy behind the recommendation.
Why This Matters
The right price attracts the right buyers and protects your final sale number during negotiations.
We met Eric two months ago when we decided to sell our wonderful condo on Longboat Key. It was an incredible experience. We met with Eric and Mike Renick on a Tuesday evening in our condo. After discussions, we signed our listing agreement. Woke up the Wednesday morning to see our listing up on MLS. Thursday, Eric brought his photographer for pictures. First showing two days later. Offer three days later. Final signed contract next day. Eric was on top of everything. Nine days after final sales contract was signed buyers inspected property. Three weeks later property closed. Thirty days between final contract and closing. Eric was proactive and kept all parties in the loop through closing. We would definitely engage him again and highly recommend him to anyone interested in buying or selling property on Longboat Key.

2. Marketing That Reaches Real Buyers
Today’s sellers should expect their listing agent to be a marketer, not just a messenger. That means:
- High-quality video tours
- Short-form content across social channels
- SEO-backed blog integration
- Strategic exposure on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn
- Compelling storytelling that highlights lifestyle and value
Your home deserves more than a quick MLS upload.
3. Strong Negotiation and Contract Management
A strong listing agent protects you during inspections, repairs, financing hurdles, and the fine print that many sellers overlook. Proactive management avoids surprises and keeps your deal on track.
4. Clear Communication From Start to Finish
Great agents communicate consistently, set expectations, and provide updates before you’re forced to ask. That level of clarity prevents confusion and builds trust.
5. Local Expertise That Adds Real Value
Selling on Longboat Key, Siesta Key, downtown Sarasota, and the surrounding coastal communities requires a deep understanding of buyer behavior, lifestyle preferences, seasonality, and local trends.
The right agent knows how to position your home accordingly.
Michael Renick-Team Renick worked hard from the moment I contacted them about listing the property to the moment the sale was complete. They kept me informed through out the short time the property was listed and then sold. I would highly recommend this team.
