5. They will make sure to get feedback after showings not just for you, but for themselves, so they can discover how the market is responding to your home.
6. They have to sell your home twice in order to sell it once. They have to get agents excited about your home so the agents will turn around and get their buyers excited. Agents are the toughest to get excited.
