Does the Agent Who Sells the Most Deliver the Best Results?
When looking for a real estate agent, many sellers assume that the top-selling real estate agent in their area must be the best choice. After all, if they sell the most homes, they must be doing something right—right?
Not necessarily.
In reality, high-volume agents at larger agencies focus on volume, not value. With multiple listings to manage, your property could end up just another transaction rather than receiving the tailored strategy and attention it deserves.
At Tasses Prestige Residential (TPR), we take a different approach. We focus on quality over quantity, ensuring every property we represent is marketed to its full potential, strategically positioned, and given the attention it needs to secure the highest possible price.
If your goal is to maximise your home’s value, it’s important to ask:
✔ Will the agent dedicate enough time to my home?
✔ Do they offer a personalised marketing strategy, or is it a one-size-fits-all approach?
✔ Are they focused on getting me the best price, or just closing another deal?
Let’s break down why a top-selling real estate agent may not always be the best choice—and why working with an agency that values service over volume can make all the difference.
1. Big Agencies Prioritise Speed, Not Strategy
Larger real estate agencies that focus on high turnover and fast sales often have a formulaic approach to selling homes. Instead of carefully curating a marketing strategy that highlights your home’s unique appeal, they follow the same system for every property:
🔹 Mass-market listing uploads – Your home is listed online with minimal effort to ensure it stands out.
🔹 Basic marketing packages – Generic photos and descriptions rather than high-quality, tailored content.
🔹 Quick negotiations to close deals fast – Rather than maximising value, they accept the first reasonable offer to move onto the next listing.
At Tasses Prestige Residential, we take a bespoke approach to every home. We don’t just list properties—we strategically position them in the market to attract premium buyers who are willing to pay top dollar.
✅ We invest in high-end marketing – Professional photography, videography, and targeted digital campaigns.
✅ We craft compelling property narratives – Highlighting the lifestyle and unique features of your home.
✅ We take the time to create buyer demand – Ensuring multiple buyers compete, driving up your final sale price.
2. You’re Just Another Listing at a Large Agency—Not at TPR
Large agencies handle hundreds of listings at once, meaning:
🔹 Agents are stretched thin, managing multiple properties at a time.
🔹 Sellers receive limited updates and little personalised attention.
🔹 Buyer relationships are transactional, rather than consultative.
At Tasses Prestige Residential, we believe selling a home is more than just a transaction—it’s a tailored experience that demands attention, expertise, and care.
When you work with TPR, you get:
✅ A dedicated agent handling every aspect of your sale.
✅ Regular, transparent communication with detailed market insights.
✅ A hands-on approach that ensures buyers see your home as the best option.
Our focus isn’t on selling the most homes—it’s on selling your home for the most.
3. Bigger Agencies Sell Fast—But Do They Sell for More?
A top-selling real estate agent at a larger agency is often more concerned with closing deals quickly to maintain their high sales numbers.
This can lead to:
🔹 Rushed price reductions – If a property doesn’t sell in the first few weeks, they may pressure you to lower the price instead of adjusting the strategy.
🔹 Encouraging early, lower offers – Rather than negotiating for better terms, they push you to accept an offer quickly.
🔹 Lack of personalised negotiation – They rely on volume rather than maximising individual sale prices.
At Tasses Prestige Residential, we focus on maximising value, not just moving properties quickly.
✅ We take the time to negotiate strategically, ensuring you get the highest offer possible.
✅ We market your home until it reaches its full potential, rather than rushing the process.
✅ We focus on creating demand so buyers compete, not just submit offers.
How to Choose the Right Agent for Your Home
Instead of choosing an agent just because they sell the most homes, ask:
✔ How will they market my home differently from others?
✔ Do they take a personalised approach, or do they follow a standard sales model?
✔ How much direct involvement will they have in the selling process?
✔ Are they focused on my needs, or just their next sale?
When you choose Tasses Prestige Residential, you’re not choosing an agency that moves properties fast—you’re choosing an agency that moves them the right way.
Final Thoughts: More Sales Doesn’t Always Mean Better Sales
Choosing the top-selling real estate agent might seem like the safe choice, but high sales volume doesn’t always mean the best service or the highest price.
At Tasses Prestige Residential, we offer:
✔ Personalised, high-end marketing.
✔ One-on-one attention for every listing.
✔ A commitment to securing the best result—not just a fast sale.
If you’re thinking about selling, let’s discuss how we can maximise your home’s value with a tailored strategy that puts your needs first.
