Four reasons you should consider selling your home with a professional.
Have you ever thought about selling your home on your own instead of getting professional help from a Realtor? It can be tempting, but most people find it’s not worth the headache. There are a few reasons to avoid trying to sell your property on your own:
1. A professional follows the latest market trends. Industry expertise is important, especially in a shifting market, and I can help you understand what’s happening right now and what that means for you.
2. You maximize your pool of buyers. Buyer demand has eased in the past year as mortgage rates have risen, but I can help make sure your house gets in front of as many eager buyers as possible.
“Most people find that trying to sell their home on their own is a big waste of time.”
3. A Realtor is a skilled negotiator. Since demand has eased and inventory has increased, buyers have more negotiation power. You will want someone who will advocate for you and handle any conversations about repairs, closing costs, and more.
4. Realtors have 97% of the homes on the market. Let’s say there’s a serious buyer who’s in a hurry and needs to sell quickly. They’re not going to take the time to look through each individual ad. Instead, they’re going to work with a Realtor and look at their listings. This is true even when the buyer isn’t in a hurry. Depending on the market conditions, the average buyer looks at 54 homes before making a decision, and these people want a Realtor to guide them and make them feel secure.
Don’t leave yourself with fewer buyers and only the ones that aren’t serious. Again, most people find that trying to sell their home on their own is a big waste of time and an even bigger headache.
