Your agent should design a marketing plan just for you. Get a copy, review it, make suggestions if appropriate, and hold your agent to it.
Communication is key. Good agents will contact you about your home sale/purchase status at least once a week; often more. Anything less is a sign of a lazy agent.
Do a little Web surfing to be sure your home is really being marketed. If you can’t find it online, or you find it only on one site, (especially if the marketing plan calls for more) talk to your agent.
A good agent will update you not only about your house, but also about similar houses in your area that have sold or gone up for sale. You have to know your competition to beat it.
An experienced agent should advise you about whether you need to update and how to properly stage your home for open-houses and showings.
