IS SELLING ON YOUR OWN A GOOD IDEA?
As a home seller, you might be tempted to keep the REALTOR’s® commission by selling you home yourself. But studies show that almost 90% of homes are sold with the help of a REALTOR® and sell for about 21% more than a “For Sale By Owner” home.
REALTORS® have a lot of experience to offer. They can build a marketing plan that gets your home sold quickly. Your REALTOR® will also protect your privacy by allowing only serious, financially qualified buyers to view your home.
REALTORS® make sure that the myriad of transaction details are executed within the required time period. Missing a deadline or forgetting a detail could derail the sale or even worse, create grounds for litigation. Negotiating the sale is where REALTORS® really makes a difference. They can objectively evaluate each buyer’s proposal with the seller’s best interests in mind. When you work with your REALTOR®, you can sell your home faster and for the best price, without the added stress.
