Why Use a REALTOR when Selling

Many people kick around the idea of putting up a ā€œFor Sale by Ownerā€ sign in the front yard when theyā€™re trying to sell their homes.

Fortunately for them, they realize why itā€™s so important to use a RealtorĀ® when selling before itā€™s too late.

Real estate can be a legal landmine for unsuspecting sellers. However, thatā€™s not even the biggest reason to work with a Realtor when youā€™re selling your home.

5 Reasons to Use a Realtor when Selling

Selling with an expert on your side makes sense for most people, because:

  1. A Realtor will screen people who come to your homeā€”and thatā€™s a luxury you donā€™t have when you sell it yourself. Itā€™s good for safety reasons and for qualification reasons. Your Realtor will be able to find out whether people have been prequalified or preapproved before considering them prospective buyers.
  2. A Realtor will show your home when youā€™re not available, which gives you the freedom to go about your daily routines. Most buyers want to look at the home without you there anyway (itā€™s a little uncomfortable to look around when the owner is there, and they may feel pressure to rush or hold back from exploring).
  3. Realtors have in-depth marketing expertise that you can leverage to your advantage. They know other Realtors who have buyers, as well, and they have the power of a brokerage to push your home out to all the right people.
  4. A Realtor will help you negotiate a contract by putting your best interests first. You deserve a fair price, a settlement date that you can work with, and other services that a Realtor can provide.
  5. Realtors can help you price your home properly. Studies continually show that pricing your home right the first time is the fastest route to a sale. Over-priced homes generally sell at below-value prices because the seller has to keep reducing the price once the listing goes stale.
