How Buyers Often Find Out about your Listing

When it comes to selling your home, exposure is everything.

Buyers might discover your property through a “For Sale” sign on the lawn, a listing on the MLS, a well-placed ad, or a social media post. These are all valuable channels — but there’s another powerful (and often overlooked) method that can dramatically impact the success of your sale: your agent’s network.

Why Your Agent's Network Matters

Many serious buyers are already working closely with agents and have set up alerts for specific types of homes or neighbourhoods. The moment a suitable property is listed, they’re notified right away. That’s why crafting a strategic, well-written MLS profile is so important — it ensures your listing shows up in these targeted alerts.

In addition, experienced agents often have a roster of qualified buyers they’re already working with. When your home hits the market, those buyers are contacted immediately. If your property matches what they’re looking for, you could receive offers faster — and possibly at a higher price.

A Well-Connected Agent Does More

Beyond just buyers, top agents have robust professional networks that may include:

  • Other real estate agents with active clients

  • Mortgage brokers and real estate lawyers

  • Contractors and stagers

  • Relocation specialists

All of these connections can be leveraged to drive attention to your home and find qualified, motivated buyers quickly.
