In this frenzied seller's market, achieving the best possible outcome when selling your home is pretty simple. It comes down to proper pricing and ensuring it's viewed (physically and online) by as many qualified buyers as possible.

As you can see in the chart below, there are negative consequences for overpricing your home. Listing it for sale above market value almost ensures fewer interested buyers taking a look.
Seller's who sell their own homes receive far less money for their property than those who use an agent. The data:
FSBO Sale = $210,000
Home Sold by Agent $249,000 - $14,940 (hypothetical 6% agent commission) = $234,060

Homes with professional photos sell for $19,000 more. (Our seller clients enjoy a media strategy that includes professional photos at no additional cost.)
There are 184 tasks that your seller's agent performs for you. Do you really want to take it upon yourself to perform all of them and take home less money after the sale?
When interviewing agents, beware of those who "buy listings," which happens when an agent is hired after convincing the seller their home is worth more than it really is, in order to get the business. It's unethical, but it happens a lot.
