Shouldn’t the question be why wouldn’t you use a REALTOR®?

When researching the question why would you use a REALTOR®  I came across more reasons to use a  REALTOR® and Very few reasons not to use a REALTOR® here a couple of the most common reasons.

      1.       I had a bad experience with a REALTOR®/REALTORS®.

      2.       I need to make more money on the sell of our home.

3.       I don’t have enough equity in our home and cannot write a check for commission.

So with that being said let me say this. 

1.       Bad experience with a REALTOR®?  -  Interview your next agent and get referrals from people you trust.

2.       I Need to make more money on the sell of our home. – Yes, we would all like to make more money but, remember there are many variables  to how much money you really make.  Do you really know what the market value of your home is?  Do you know how to negotiate as well as a professional REALTOR®?  Are you motivated to sell your home in the least amount of time for the most money? A REALTOR® can help you !

3.       I don’t have enough equity in our home and cannot write a check.  -  Do you need to sell your home?  Why are you wanting to move?  Can you afford to live in your home longer to get equity in the home? An Agent can help you see what is best for you at this time and it could be stay in your home a little longer.
