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

High-quality marketing
Strategic pricing
Tailored plans designed to stand out in today’s market

🧐 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.
