Key Statistics
The Selling Journey, according to Hebert Research, goes something like this:
- 1 Months: Phase 1—Pre-research
- The phase where people start to contemplate the idea of moving and entering light discussions about it.
- 7 Months: Phase 2 – Active research
- This phase is generally an information gathering process when sellers try to figure out what their home might be worth, what they need to do before selling their home, etc.
- 0 Months: Phase 3 – Selling
- This is the phase where they decide to list, and put their home on the market and hopefully get it sold.
70% of sellers only interview 1 agent before selecting who they work with (and typically spend one day interviewing).
Note: Most agents get referrals in the end of the active research phase/beginning of the selling phase, whereas online consumers typically are 3-6 months away from being ready to list.
