- Expertise in the local market: A realtor has access to a comprehensive list of comparable homes and understands the value of homes in your area. They can guide you to set the right price for your home, one that will allow you to both pocket as much money as you can while selling in a timely manner. They understand local housing codes and can point out any red flags on your property that buyers (and their home inspectors) will find.
- Marketing and advertising: A realtor can provide recommendations for staging your home, hire a professional photographer to take great listing photos, and use multiple channels to advertise your listing, including online listings, social media, and open houses.
- Ease of paperwork: Selling a home comes with a lot of paperwork, and your real estate agent will handle it all. Professional real estate agents keep an eye out for deal loopholes and unusual requests, and read all the fine print. In a multiple-offer situation, they’ll help you evaluate each offer and guide you through the negotiation process.
- Higher offers: According to Easy Agent Pro, higher offers come in when you list with an agent. An agent helps make sure your property is seen by more people. They also make sure that all aspects of the buying process are handled in a professional manner.
- Peace of mind: Your home is likely your most valuable asset, after all, and a professional agent helps you make the most of that investment when it comes time to sell, ensuring that the transaction goes smoothly and providing valuable peace of mind.
