nothing?
nothing?Sincerely, Just Need to Sell
Dear Just Need to Sell,
I understand your concerns. There's lots of rumors and mis-information to consumers on what Realtors® really do to help a home purchase. Additionally, many times, those that need to sell figure they can save tons of money by selling their homes themselves or perhaps use a discount, flat fee service to get their home on the market. In fact, there's lots of models out there that can be quite confusing to someone who just wants to sell and wants to gain as much money as they can from their investment.
Now of course, since I am a Realtor® in San Antonio TX, I highly advocate for the use of a Realtor® to assist you in the home selling process, and because I am one, you may think my answer is coming from a place of self interest. I can assure you that it isn't. Even before I became a Realtor®, (or even knew I wanted to be one) when I went to buy and sell a home I hired a Realtor®....
Why?
Because at the time, I knew zippo about buying a selling homes. I wasn't trained and I couldn't imagine doing something that I didn't know how to do. Now granted, there's lots of how to videos this day and age on YouTube...and there are probably even some on how to sell your home cheap or something. I wouldn't doubt it.
But my philosophy stays the same. I hire those that are trained on how to do something so that the job can be done correctly no matter what it is.
Why?
Because I have tried to "learn" how to do stuff on the Internet and tried those DIY (Do it Yourself) projects and I learned the hard way...I shouldn't have done it myself. When you have to go back and have a professional fix the work you did yourself, it ends up costing you more in money, time and frustration.
It's the same with selling your San Antonio TX area home. If you try and do it yourself or perhaps try to "save money" by going a cheaper route, often times you cost yourself way more money, time and frustration then if you just hired someone who knew what they were doing in the first place.
So, yes...I believe you really do need a Realtor® to help you sell your home in San Antonio TX.
And for my next trick, I will answer the Why You Need a Realtor® to Help You Sell Your San Antonio TX Area Home...stay tuned.
