What real use are real estate agents if we can sell our home ourselves?
In: Economics
A lot of people have made some good points here for buyers but I haven’t seen anyone mention the reason why it’s important to as a seller. The commission comes out of the sale price, the buyer doesn’t typically pay a realtor. That being said, a realtor isn’t going to bring their clients to your house if there’s no commission in it because you’re trying to sell it privately. If you have your house for sale, you typically want as much exposure as possible to get a quick sale or even multiple offers to get the most money. Removing yourself from 90% of the market would make it difficult to sell unless you’re in an extremely demanding area.
