Do I really need a Realtor to sell my home, I get this question from many people who have tried to sell their home on there own. Your Home is one of your biggest investment, are you sure that you want to do this on your own.

Take a look at why you should consider using a Realtor before going on your own:

1.  National Realtor Assocation stated that using a Realtor will net you the most money when selling your home. In comparison to doing on your own.

2. Legal paperwork: are you familiar with all the legal terms like:why I should consider using a realtor when selling my house

This term is usually used to put aside some money, documents, or something of value, with an independent third party called an escrow agent, to satisfy certain debts or obligations established in a written agreement. 

3. You don't have to interact DIRECTLY with the buyer ( A Realtor will negotiate on the price)

So if your selling your home, Why don't you consider using a Realtor to help you make the most from the sale of your home.

A very timely blog in a Difficult market.... I would have to include preparation of the clients expectations as a very important quality. Given a Realtor's experience can prepare the client for the potential pitfalls of a real estate transaction.
