I would want to see a list of their recent sales, with statistics of age on market. Will they be doing anything out of the ordinary to market your property?
Are there 'Agent tours' in your area? If so, try to be on it, especially if your house is truly a premium property.

Good advice, I will ask.
This agent did not call, she came to the house with a portfolio already put together with a 10 page write up on the house. All the recent comps, recent sales, comparative analysis. She put some work into it, or at least it looks like she did.
We call them Brokers Open Houses here.
We had easily 4-5 Brokers Open Houses. It was a good day if 1 other broker showed up.
I know the price point is critical. We are NOT overpriced. We had two recent sales in the area, based on what they got for those two houses we are actually underpriced.
The closest comp is around the corner, just went on the market, they are asking $100,000 more than we currently are.
I think they are overpriced.
They had a full page "article" in the real estate section 2 weeks ago. The wife and I watched, they had 4 people come by to look in one day.
In 6 months my house was shown to 8 prospects. Only 2 came from outside brokers.
I really believe that we suffered from using a smaller exclusive broker with a limited area of customers to pull from.
