Thinking of Selling? Use a Realtor

To say that it's been a "tough" real estate market might be the understatement of, well, the last five years for some. But let's not let the immediate past cloud our judgement when it comes to the largest source of equity for most families.

Selling your home alone is not as simple as putting a "FSBO" sign in the yard and sitting back waiting to hear your phone ring. Why not intrust your biggest investment to a professional who knows your local market and can help you price your home right and sell it fast?

Advantages of using an Agent

"Realtors® can ensure the proper filing of all required paperwork, the scheduling of assessments and inspections, and the proper listing and marketing of the property with a Multi Listing Service. Agents can also help in negotiating the closing costs with the buyer's Realtor®. "
--Guide to Realty.com

 Doing any one of the above items inefficiently can cost a home owner big bucks, especially if they're working with an experienced buyer's agent. A good agent can speed up your home-selling process by easily navigating through all of the loan and governmental procedures, assessments, disclosure requirements, and tax laws, as well as using their professional sphere to get your home in front of many prospective buyers.

You might think you're doing yourself a favor by saving on the cost of a commission, but is it really worth the headache or the risk of not selling at all?
