Home Sellers' Tool Kit

With the Northern Virginia real estate market moving at such a lightening fast pace, many sellers ask themselves, "Do I really need a real estate agent? I know I can sell this house myself!" Some try and many succeed but finding someone to buy your house is tough enough. Doing it on your own is tougher. Dealing with long contracts, choosing the right offer, and preparing for settlement are extremely complex tasks. Toss in having to overcome the myriad of problems that typically arise during the selling process can be a nightmare.

Additionally, most homes sold by owner are sold for less money than a comparable property sold with the help of a REALTOR and the seller will experience more delays and have more unforeseen problems than a comparable property sold with the help of a REALTOR.

Simply put, doing it yourself can be done but it is much harder.

Additionally, the majority of home buyers are working with an agent. Granted, you can opt to pay the Buyer's Agent a lessor commission than you would if you hired your own agent but do you want to be the one without the knowledge and expertise working in your favor? With the Washington, DC Metro Area's real estate market moving at the insanely fast pace that it is, you need a dedicated agent to work just for you.
