1. When did voting for Best Choice Idol begin?

Auditions for Best Choice Idol began on Tuesday, October 1st, 2024. There is still time to practice and submit your entry. Voting is NOW!

2. What is all the hype about?

An opportunity to see other agents handle objections and an opportunity for you to have a front row seat to the listing presentation conversation. Contestants perform their no more than 30 minute listing presentation in front of a BCR Employee or real seller and record it. Contestants will be prepared to answer 3 questions (below) in their presentation. Based on votes from other Best Choice Realty agents, the top 4 will present in person at the final competition on November 7th for an opportunity to win a weekend retreat for 2 and crowned as the first winner of Best Choice Idol. Each week, your votes determine who makes it through to the final round and ultimately gets crowned the next Best Choice Idol. If you are a final contestant and live more than 120 miles away from Mercer Island, Best Choice Realty will arrange for your travel expenses to attend.
