Why Use A REALTOR To Sell Your Home

If you are thinking of selling your home, you may wonder whether to try it alone or invest in the services or a real estate professional.

In the marketplace today, many homeowners have considered going it alone and selling their home themselves to save from paying commission fees. Although you may be successful in selling your own home or property, you actually risk losing more money than you would if you listed it with a real estate agent in the first place.

Heres why

Setting The Listing Price One of the most important services a REALTOR is going to provide is helping you decide on an appropriate listing price. If youre asking too much for your property, you may end up on the market for a longer period of time, turning off potential buyers. When you have a property that is priced to high, and one that has been on the market a long time you may be forced to reduce the price below market value in order for it to sell.

A REALTOR will work with you to decide on an appropriate listing price, by providing you with comparable homes in your neighbourhood which have recently sold and comparables that are currently on the market. With a little bit of research, you can determine what homebuyers are willing to pay for a property and save a great deal of time and effort by pricing your home right, from the very beginning.

Getting You Top Dollar Another advantage of using a REALTOR to help you in selling your home, is the fact that a real estate agent is a knowledgeable and experience negotiator and can get you top dollar for your property. A real estate professional knows the local market and will advise you on how to treat offers when they come in to get the most for your property.

Marketing One last point to make about hiring a real estate agent to sell your home, is they usually take care of all the marketing and advertising costs. Sure you can spend a lot of money in commission fees, but how much would you be spending on advertising your own property? Given current rates a single classified ad in a daily newspaper in some areas can cost as much as a couple hundred dollars.

Dont forget about the MLS system. Licensed REALTORS have access to posting your home or property on the internet through the Multiple Listing Service. Its a fact that up to 80% of homebuyers now start their search on the internet this tool is invaluable!

There you have it... just a couple reasons why you should enlist in the services of a real estate professional.
