Reasons to Use a Professional Instead of Doing It Yourself

Surveys show homes sold with the help of a real estate professional sell for up to 15 percent more than those sold by homeowners.

For sale by owner properties are often seen as easy targets for investors, creating situations where the owner is pressured to sell for a significantly reduced price.

A real estate professional previews homes, has market knowledge, prescreens buyers and provides valuable information that can make every transaction easier.

With ever-changing real estate laws and regulations, homeowners can find themselves in over their heads trying to handle everything on their own.

Many real estate agents avoid showing their clients “for sale by owner” homes since working with a nonprofessional often means more work and more time.

To sell your home yourself can be tempting, but many homeowners end up seeking the aid of a real estate agent after their own efforts fail.
