An agent based elsewhere in the province can still access the same MLS System data, the same comparable sales, and the same 1.63 months of supply figure that a downtown Saskatoon office would use. What you actually need is proof they know your specific neighbourhood, not proof they can walk to your listing from a desk nearby.
Ask how many transactions they have closed specifically inside Saskatoon in the last 12 months, and ask how quickly they can be at your property in person, since responsiveness matters more than a mailing address. A distant office with a fast, hands-on agent beats a nearby office with a slow one.
