STEP 1
Most sellers use a real estate agent. You certainly don’t have to, but there are good reasons why most people still do: Choosing the Best Agent for the Job 1. Pricing is a real art. The biggest factor in determining how quickly your home sells is the price, and deciding that price is trickier than it seems. It takes experience and even 1% more for your home can mean thousands to your bottom line. 2. Negotiating is hard. Not just hard to do, but it can feel uncomfortable. If you want someone to negotiate fearlessly on your behalf, you need an agent. 3. Marketing is more than MLS. To get the most for your home, you need as many buyers interested as possible. According to REALTOR.com, 82% of real estate sales are the result of agent contacts. 4. Showings and paperwork are a pain. There’s more to the legal side of a home sale than you might think, and showing your own home is not only awkward, it can really complicate your schedule. An agent takes away the burden of all these things, and works to get your home sold for the best price in the fastest time. After all—you’ve got a life to live.
