What real use are real estate agents if we can sell our home ourselves?
In: Economics
I bought a house within the past two years and used a real estate agent.
At first I was getting kind of mad because she wasn’t doing anything I couldn’t do. In fact, I was looking up the listings and found the house I ended up buying.
However, on the day of signing, she spotted an error in the paperwork that would have cost me more than 10x her fee. We had to close a day later because a new contract had to be drawn up, but it was something I never would have caught.
Sure, I could have done most of the work myself had everything gone right, but I was happy to have someone with experience when I was clueless that something went wrong.
