You're Not The Boss Of Me

What an interesting experience being a real estate agent so far. I've met some very nice people, but I've also met some very nasty ones as well. People who insist on selling home themselves without the help of a real estate agent, need to do their homework very thoroughly before going it alone. A home is a person's most valuable tangible asset. You can easily lose more money than you would ever spend paying a broker, just by the mistakes you make trying to sell a house yourself. Many people don't know how to conduct an open house, know the value of their own home, don't know who they are allowing into their home or if a prospective purchase is even qualified to go to contract, let alone close on a home. Paying a broker's fee of 2% is money well worth spent in the advertising costs alone. Remember, only a broker can list a home on through a multiple listing service, only a broker as access to exclusive websites to market your home, only your broker will make sure that you get top dollar for your home and only a broker will make sure that your contract will lead to a successful closing. On the average, sellers who chose to sell their own homes, lost an average of $30,000. You'd spend a lot less in a small broker's fee. Do your homework!
