How often should I expect my listing agent to communicate with me while my home is on the market?

You should not feel in the dark. That’s not a good sign. At a minimum, you should be getting weekly updates. That includes showing activity, buyer feedback, online views, and what the market is doing around your home. If there are active showings, you should also hear feedback within a day or two. A simple standard I set is this. No news is still news. You should never be wondering what’s going on. Have a direct conversation and set expectations. Ask for a quick weekly call or update, plus immediate feedback after showings. Most agents will adjust once you’re clear. Communication is a big part of the job. It’s not just about putting the home on the market, it’s about guiding you through it the entire time.

Weekly communication is crucial, my Monday mornings are blocked to go over traffic reports and feedback on visits with all Sellers. We review in-person tours, online activity, inquiries made via all forms and feedback forms submitted from visitors.
