Why Do We Need an Agent?

Published 2026-11-13

A buyer who can search listings online asks the question underneath half the buyer conversations happening right now: why do I even need an agent? Caitlin takes the dialogue as written first, handling dual agency, repairs, and the pushback that a chatbot could do it instead. Then she runs the same buyer as an unscripted role play while Darren pushes back in character. The debriefs get into controlled answers versus kitchen sink answers, what an open house conversation can turn into, and Darren's simple frame for the whole job: prepare, develop business, track activity.
