The True Cost of Selling Your House on Your Own

 

In a new report, NAR surveyed homeowners who’d recently sold their own homes and asked what difficulties they faced. Those sellers say some of the greatest challenges were prepping their home for sale, pricing it right, and properly managing the required paperwork, just to name a few.

When it comes to selling your most valuable asset, consider the invaluable support that a real estate agent can provide. By partnering with an agent, you can navigate the complexities of the selling process with confidence. Here are just a few of the many ways an agent is essential to your home sale:

Marketing and Exposure
If you sell on your own, you may struggle to match the reach of agents, resulting in limited exposure and, ultimately, fewer potential buyers.

Managing Liability and Legal Considerations
Real estate agents are well-versed in the contracts, disclosures, and regulations necessary during a sale. Their expertise helps minimize the risk of errors or omissions that could lead to legal disputes or delays.

Negotiations and Contracts
Real estate agents act as intermediaries, skillfully negotiating on your behalf and ensuring that your best interests are protected. When you sell your house yourself, you’ll need to be prepared to manage vendors on your own.

Pricing and Housing Market Knowledge
Determining the right asking price for your property is crucial. It requires in-depth knowledge of the local real estate market, including recent sales data, neighborhood trends, and the current demand for properties. An agent is a key piece of the pricing puzzle.
