Choosing the wrong listing agent is the most expensive mistake a seller can make. In a market where the median price is over $1 million, a 1% difference in negotiation or a week of extra "days on market" can cost you thousands. At Team Ibrahim, we believe in absolute transparency. Here is how we answer the ten most critical questions you should ask any agent before you sign.

1. How many homes have you sold in the last 12 months?

Hyper-local knowledge is everything. We live and work in the 91741, 91740, and Pasadena zip codes. We don't just know the data; we know the streets and the specific buyer pool for each neighborhood.

2. What is your average list-to-sale price ratio?

Our goal isn't just to sell your home; it’s to maximize your net. Our track record consistently outperforms the local average because we price strategically and negotiate firmly.

3. What does your marketing package include?

In 2026, "iPhone photos and an MLS post" isn't enough. We provide professional architectural photography, high-end video tours, and targeted social media syndication to ensure your home is seen by buyers locally and those relocating from the coast.

4. How do you handle multiple offers?

As we discussed earlier this month, we have a specific protocol for vetting buyers, analyzing appraisal gaps, and negotiating terms that protect your equity.

5. What happens if the appraisal comes in low?

This is where an "Advisor" earns their keep. We prepare a "comparable sales packet" for the appraiser in advance to support the purchase price, and we have the negotiation skills to bridge the gap if the bank falls short.
