At first glance that may appear to be a reasonable choice. However, I feel very strongly that a Realtor will net you more money than if you attempt the job yourself. The are a myriad of details that accompany real estate transactions and a Realtor has been trained to handle every one of them. Let me explain some things to con- sider. — Are you able to be at home to qualify and show prospects your house? —The security of having a Realtor accompany all prospects is reassuring. —The multiple listing service exposes your property in ways that an owner selling pri- vately cannot take advantage of. — Don't neglect additional costs incurred when selling yourself: —additional attorney fees — real estate for sale and open signs —advertising costs in newspapers for several months. —The transferee market invariably will want to see the 11 out of 12 homes listed through a broker. The don't have time to read through ads or drive every area. One overlooked factor is that sophisticated buyers often discount the offer by 6% and then begin to negotiate. Where then, is the saving to you? A house is typically your most important asset. I believe a Realtor can help you protect this invest- ment with professional services to allow you to get top dollar in the quickest time with the fewest prob- lems.
