An Agent knows what the potential buyers are looking for with respect to interior and exterior cosmetics. They know about recent trends and what can be a major turn off. A home staging checklist and cleaning list is provided, which will result in added perceived value to your property, which turns higher profits for you.

Using an Agent will help increase your exposure to potential buyers thanks to their connections and expertise in the are you live, which means it can take less time to sell your home. Houses that take a long time to sell usually end up selling for less because buyers believe there must be something wrong with them.

An agent will advise you through the selling process after you have received an offer. Low offers and multiple offers will be negotiated on your behalf to settle on a selling price that you are happy with, along with a quick closing date. A lack of appropriate negotiating can result in a bungled contract or even a lawsuit.

If you plan to use a Lawyer to help you negotiate deal on your property, your Lawyer’s fees could be considerably higher than a Realtor’s commission. Unlike Realtors, Lawyers do not get paid for proactively representing your best interests or mediating delicate situations, should they arise during the selling process.
