Realtors are trained professionals. They know what properties are selling for. They know what the market demand is. So, when they arrive at what is considered fair market value for your home, they aren’t just guessing. They know.
You may not be reaching many qualified buyers if your house is not properly marketed. This can be very costly in terms of lost time, effort and money. An experienced Realtor has a wealth of prospective buyers.
Realtors will not show your home to buyers who are not financially qualified to meet your asking price.
If you’ve ever tried to show your home yourself, you know what an inconvenience it can be when buyers stop by unexpectedly. With a Realtor, prospects will be shown the house by appointment only.
Realtors serve as an objective, third party, so a buyer is inclined to listen to them, making a sale more likely.
Realtors can advise you as to the best possible method to handle the financial side of transactions.
When it comes to negotiating, Realtors are experts. They have had training and experience, plus their third-party status helps them to act as go-betweens for you and the buyer to bring the transaction to a satisfying end.
The amount of paperwork and all the legal issues which must be addressed can be overwhelming. Realtors help you through it all.
When a house is for sale “by owner” most buyers expect a lower price, so you might not be saving as much as you think.
The sale of your home is important to you. Select your agent and company not just on the price they may promise, but on the number of actual benefits and services they can put to work for you.
