Should You Hire a Real Estate Agent?

Thinking about trying to sell your house on your own?

Most For Sale By Owners wind up hiring a REALTOR to sell their homes.

Why?

One reason is that the price a REALTOR will get for a house averages about 19% more than what a home owner selling it themselves will get.  In other words, even with the cost of an agent’s commission, you’d still make more profit using a REALTOR then selling it yourself.

Also, nearly a third of all home sales come from agent to agent communications.  Who would want to shut themselves out of such a large share of the market?
