4 Ways Having an Agent Beats Selling Solo

While selling your sofa or lawnmower on your own doesn’t take a lot of sales skill, working with a professional real estate agent will help you get the most money in the shortest time when selling your home. Here are some of the top reasons I can help.

1. Increase Your Profit

Many people think they’ll make more money if they avoid paying an agent a commission and instead handle their own home sale, but the statistics show otherwise. According to the National Association of Realtors, selling with an agent brings in a higher profit, enough to cover the commission and more. For one thing, I have the experience and tools to price your home appropriately. Studies have shown that homes priced correctly when they first hit the market sell faster, and for a better price, than those that linger with a decreasing price tag.

2. Save You Time

While it may take just moments to upload a Craigslist ad, handling prospective buyers, inspectors, and appraisers can suck up your time. From screening out unqualified buyers to helping you prepare your home for inspections, I can help drive the process more efficiently.

3. Make A Better Deal

You might be proud of your poker face, but are you really a savvy enough negotiator to put one of the biggest deals of your life on the line? As most buyers use a buyer’s agent, you’ll probably be going toe-to-toe with a professional negotiator. When you list your house with me, you not only get their marketing power and connections, but you get a pro negotiator advocating for you during the initial offer, the counter offer, and the post-offer period, which includes inspections and requests for concessions.

4. Lower Your Risk

The potential for making mistakes (with potential legal ramifications) among the reams of paperwork involved in a home sale is huge. I don’t want that to happen. I know how to do things right.
