Do Experienced Agents Sell Homes Faster? Here’s What the Data Says in Bryan County

When it comes to selling a home, every seller asks the same question: “How long will it take to sell my property?”

The answer can vary widely depending on market conditions, price point, and property type. But there’s another factor many homeowners overlook—the experience level of the agent they choose.

The Data We Looked At

We pulled data from the Bryan County MLS, reviewing all properties that successfully closed between 2021 and today. This review does not include withdrawn or expired listings—only homes that actually sold.

• Market Average (Bryan County, 2021–2025):
  Homes took an average of 42.9 days to sell.

• Peña Properties Team (same period):
  Our listings averaged just 25.5 days to sell.

That’s a difference of more than two weeks faster compared to the rest of the market.

Why the Difference?

Research and local experience suggest there’s a correlation between the number of properties an agent lists and the speed at which those properties sell.

• Higher-volume agents typically bring sharper pricing strategies, stronger marketing systems, and deeper buyer networks.

• Lower-volume agents may not have the same tools or consistent processes, which can translate into longer market times.

When you multiply this across dozens of transactions, the gap becomes clear: experience and volume matter.

What Faster Sales Mean for You

A faster sale isn’t just about convenience—it can also protect your bottom line.

• Less time on the market means fewer carrying costs (mortgage, utilities, insurance, upkeep).

• Stronger negotiating position since fresh listings often attract the most serious buyers.

• Lower risk of price reductions that sometimes occur when a home lingers on the market.

The Bottom Line

The data from our local MLS shows that choosing an experienced, active agent can make a measurable difference.

At Peña Properties Team, our average days to sell is 17 days faster than the market. That’s not just a number—it’s peace of mind, money saved, and results you can count on.
