The problem: one agent means limited reach
Hand your property to a single agent and you're betting on one person's contact list, one Facebook page, one set of buyers. If that agent is busy, on holiday, or simply doesn't have the right client this month, your listing sits idle. The obvious fix — handing the same property to five agents yourself — quickly turns into chaos: duplicate listings at different prices, contradictory descriptions, photos of varying quality, and five people calling you about every viewing. Buyers and tenants notice when the same condo appears three times with three prices, and trust drops. You end up managing the agents instead of selling the property.
