How to find the right agent to sell my houses

Hello,

I am currently on my 2nd investment deal and need some help. My first deal was a home I built and sold 3 years later. On that deal I used 3 different agents (14 months!) and neither made me feel that they were actually "selling" my house. Long story short after the 2nd agent I dropped the price and listed FSBO. The 3rd one then called me and talked a big game and I gave her the listing. Basically, I feel strongly that I left a minimum of 40k on the table. I took my first offer in 13 months at 343k and it appraised at 389k. I guess since I was so relieved it sold I used her to buy my next investment... paid full asking. She was on vacatIon durIng both closIngs. I listed this one FSBO after all of the frustration and had 2 showings in the first 30 days. #3 called me again and I gave her the listing because she offered to do it at 1.5 commission. I agreed, even though she has yet to step foot in my remodeled house 🤦🏻‍♂️. HOW CAN I FIND AN AGENT THAT WILL SELL MY HOUSES FOR TOP DOLLAR IN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME? Thank you in advance.
