What real use are real estate agents if we can sell our home ourselves?
In: Economics
One thing I pointed out to my coworker when she was asking this question.
They have the time to actually deal with potential buyers. They are the ones who deal with offers and counter offers. If you try to do it yourself, if you can only answer the phone 3 or 4 hours out of the day, you are going to lose lots of potential buyers. I read somewhere that the difference between selling your home yourself and using an agent is a $60,000 difference in sale price.
Their job is to sell your home and get you the most money possible. And they want to get the most money possible because their commission in based off of your sale price.
