Does starting my North Charleston agent search in the fall change who I should hire?

Searching for a North Charleston agent in the fall doesn't change the core qualities worth looking for, such as a verifiable local track record and responsiveness, though a fall search often means less competition for an agent's attention than during the busier spring season. Sellers listing in the fall also tend to be more motivated to close before year end, which can shape negotiation strategy.
