Selling Agent
The listing agent is also sometimes referred to as the seller's agent. This is a real estate agent that is going to work exclusively with a seller.

The listing agent will then evaluate the property and run a comparative market analysis on the home and will provide the seller with information. They will give the seller a ballpark range of their home's value. The listing agent and the seller will then come to an agreement as to how much to list the property for. The agent will then provide the seller with a contract to solidify the authority to represent the seller.
