Selling Your Own Home? by Rosa Wright

Maybe you’ve thought about selling your home without an Agent in order to avoid paying an Agent’s commission. That commission, is negotiable depending on where you live and what Agent you choose.

Handling your own sale means you will have to place ads, answer calls, perhaps hold open houses, show your home to strangers at all hours—no matter how unexpected or inconvenient, and in some cases negotiate the selling price.

Serious Buyers depend on real estate Agents. 98.3% of the homes for sale are listed by Realtors®. And 70% of homes sold are sold through Agent-to-Agent communication. The national average price of homes sold is 16% higher when an Agent is used. Using the right professional Agent will make your home sale a better experience, and a more profitable one.

When selling your home, or buying a new one please contact us, here at The Real Estate Company for a full service Real Estate Agent and counsel you can trust.
