One of the most common question sellers ask is “Why should I use an agent to sell my house when I can sell it myself?”

The answer is that selling your house often takes more than just putting a “For Sale” sign on the lawn and an ad in the paper. In the difficult market we find ourselves in now, it takes experience and training to learn how to correctly price a house to sell, effectively market a house to bring top dollar and to anticipate and solve the many problems that can arise during the house selling process. In addition, since it generally doesn't cost anything for a buyer to work with an associate, the buyers coming directly to you may be looking to buy your house at a lower price because you are not paying the brokerage fee.
