So you need to sell your home? We hope, for your benefit, that you consider using the services of a Realtor®. Studies show that homes sold by Realtors® sell for more money in a shorter amount of time. Selling a home can be a lengthy process with many pitfalls for the unexperienced, especially in a slower market as the one we are currently experiencing. We are in a buyer's market and your home needs to be priced right, internet exposure combined with networking with other Realtors® to get sold in the shortest amount of time for the most money.
One common misconception is thinking that if you don't use a Realtor® you'll save money, when in fact, you'll be walking away from the closing table with less money in your pocket. As an appraiser and a Realtor® I have seen this countless times with data from public records. A Realtor® will get you the exposure you need, market the home properly and suggest a price that is realistic so that it sells.
If you decide to 'go it on your own', we wish you the best of luck and feel free to contact us if you need a certain service within the deal (i.e. contract review, an appraisal before putting your home on the market to have a realistic idea of what its worth).
After trying on your own, if you feel that you want to use a Realtor®, give us a call and we will pick it up from there. We are here for your benefit and protection.
