Exactly. Certain agents know neighborhoods and sell them well. One that we used liked the neighborhood my first home in Houston was in because when buyers couldn't afford where they wanted to be, she could sell them very similar houses in our 'hood for significantly less. (Distance was the multiplier closer in.)
