Expired Listing? Here’s Why Hiring a New Agent Could Be Your Smartest Move Yet
by Laura Lake
If your home’s listing recently expired on the MLS without a successful sale, you’re not alone—and you’re not out of options.
In fact, making a switch might be exactly what your listing needs to sell successfully.
🔁 Why Many Sellers Relist with a New Agent
According to industry data:
-
Over 70% of sellers who switched agents after their listing expired successfully sold their home.
-
Compare that to just 50% of those who relisted with the same agent.
-
On average, homes relisted with a new agent sold twice as fast as those that didn’t make a change.
The takeaway? A fresh start with a new strategy can make a measurable difference.
⏱️ Why Homes Sell Faster with a New Agent
When listings expire, it’s often due to lack of exposure, ineffective marketing, or misaligned pricing. A new agent can:
-
Reassess the strategy with a fresh, objective perspective
-
Market the home in new ways to reach untapped buyers
-
Reinvigorate interest with upgraded visuals and promotion

🧐 Before You Relist, Ask the Right Questions
Not all agents approach expired listings the same way. Here’s what to consider before relisting:
-
Why did the home not sell the first time?
Pricing, presentation, or poor marketing? Let’s pinpoint the issue. -
What will be done differently this time?
Look for agents who offer targeted marketing, strong exposure, and a step-by-step game plan. -
Can the agent speak to repositioning strategies?
A well-qualified agent should have experience reframing and relaunching properties that didn’t sell.
