Why Use A Professional REALTOR?

Given the proliferations of services that help home buyers and sellers complete their own transaction, you may have considered whether you should go it yourself instead of working with an agent. However, there is no substitute for an experienced professional, and taking on all the responsibility yourself could be costlier than an agent’s commission in the long run.

According to the National Association of Realtors’ 2022 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, only 10% of home sales were accomplished as for sale by owner (FSBO), and of those, 40% knew their buyer personally. FSBO home sales had a median price of $225,000 in 2022, compared to the agent assisted home sale median price of $345,000.

Beyond the price advantage of using us as your agent, homes listed by real estate professionals in general get more exposure and their sellers get more support. Here are some other considerations:

• We’re trained and licensed professionals.

• We have oversight from brokers and state licensing officials.

• Our job is to advise you the best way to reach your goals.

• We know how to present your home and deal with buyers.

• We understand state-required disclosures and look out for your best interests.
