What real use are real estate agents if we can sell our home ourselves?
In: Economics
We live in California and we bought a house we lived in which theoretically wouldn’t require an agent. We hired an agent and negotiated a fixed fee with her. She had access to all the correct contracts snd paperwork, negotiated on our behalf, advised us on strategy and price and connected us with a network of contractors to use post sale. We originally tried to use a lawyer to work through this with but they were much nicer expensive and much less knowledgeable. They were more focused on executing various contracts than on offering any advising or strategy.
As with most things these days you don’t NEED to hire an expert but they can save you a ton of money and liability in certain situations.
