When choosing a realtor – is living near you a big plus?

I had my list of realtors narrowed down to 3 people.

1. Neighbor recommend. Lots of 5 star reviews on zillow, etc.. Met her in person and seemed helpful and nice. I emailed her to tell her I was about ready to get started and haven't heard back in 2 weeks.

2. Recommended by 2 coworkers. I found two bad reviews. Rest were all 5s. I messaged him on Sunday morning. As of very early Monday morning, have not heard back.

3. I met at an open house in my subdivision. And she also lives in my subdivision (maybe 1 mile from my house). The house for sale had nothing special and nothing was updated yet it sold very quickly. She mentioned that she could help clients sell without them having to do much to the house.
   She seemed easy to talk to and was not pushy.

When I tried to research her online, all I can find is her profile. I can't find any ratings – good nor bad.

I like the fact that she lives in my subdivision but wondering how much weight that fact should be factored into my consideration? Since I haven't heard back from the other two, should this realtor move up to #1 or do I need to start creating another list?
