Your home is most likely your largest asset.

 

When the market is favoring the Seller, it may seem like a slam-dunk to sell a home, and you may be wondering, "Why use a real estate agent? My house will practically sell itself!" 

​

Here are some key points why you should use a professional to sell....

​

NET MORE FROM YOUR HOME SALE

The most common reason people decide to not hire a professional to sell there home is that they don't want to pay a commission. Understandable, after all, who wants to fork over 6%* of your homes sale price.

 

But did you know, research has shown that homes sell for significantly more when a seller works with a top rated real estate professional; offsetting or often even exceeding the amount that is paid in commission fees. 

 

In 2023, National Association of Realtors provided data showing that "For Sale By Owner homes" (FSBO) homes sold at a median of $310,000 last year, significantly lower than the median of agent-assisted homes at $405,000.

​

Mathematical Example:

By opting to not pay a 6% commission, and selling for 22% less, you would end up leaving 16% of your homes value on the table.

 

There are so many ways things can go wrong for a seller who tries to represent themselves in selling a home.

 

The legal aspects of the contract alone are getting harder to navigate and seller’s need a professional that can review and negotiate a solid contract, protecting their interests. In this fast, ever changing market, using an Real Estate professional who understands the local market and its demands, is the best way to ensure you are getting top value for your home, assist with qualified buyers, and make sure your investment is represented properly and sold.
