With all of the information available at people's fingertips via the
Internet, why would someone choose a Realtor when they could sell their
own home and forgo paying the commission?
1. Marketing: One of the advantages of using a Realtor is that you don't
have to worry about marketing your home. Every listing with a Realtor is
listed in the MLS directory. This information is shared with other
Realtors who may or may not be working with active buyers. The MLS is a
wonderful tool that Brokers use to share their listing information with
others who are looking for a home.
2. Time: When selling your home by owner, you have to invest quite a bit
of time into paperwork, research, and other things that can be done
quicker and more effectively with a real estate professional. You can
greatly reduce the probability of mistakes in the paperwork by having a
Realtor take care of that necessity.
3. Market Valuation: A Realtor will do a market price evaluation to
determine what is the best price to sell your home at. This involves
researching similar homes in the area and examining for what prices they
sold with adjustments to the differences in the real property. Quite often
a home sold with a Realtor will sell for an average of 16% higher than one
sold by owner.
