Real Estate Market Statistics for Manatee & Sarasota County
Listing a home, property or business is a serious decision! There are so many questions to answer before the actual process begins:
- Is now the right time to sell?
- Is now the right time to invest, buy ANOTHER home, or move up?
- Should I hire a real estate agent or list the home for sale by owner?
- How much is my home worth?
- Should I list with a single agent, or hire a real estate TEAM?
- What improvements should be made to my home or property before it is listed for sale?
Whew...There are a lot of decisions to be made before a sign of any kind goes up in the yard. Every question should be thought carefully about, and answered by someone you trust or has a PROVEN track record of success and knowledge with these issues and questions.
If you make the educated decision to hire a REALTOR or Real Estate professional to handle the listing and sale of your home, most authorities on the subject suggest that you INTERVIEW more than one agent, preferably 3 agents or teams.
