Why Hire a Realtor?

Deciding how to sell your home is a big decision that requires a lot of research and thought.  Deciding whether to sell on your own or list with an agent is one of the most important decisions you will make when you are ready to sell your home.  Here are a couple of reasons to list with a Realtor:

92 % of Home Buyers are finding their home on the Internet, Exit Greater Realty Realtors can help get you maximum internet visibility.

88% of buyers are using a Realtor to buy their home

9% of For Sale By Owners Sold their home on their own

40% of them knew the buyer

Lets look at the numbers:

• Average Home Price without a Realtor $184,000
• Average Home Price with a Realtor $230,000
• Average difference: $46,000
• Subtract commission and that leaves you with an extra $25,000 to $35,000 in your pocket!!

Home values are rapidly changing and it can be tough to know what your home is worth.  This is another reason it is important to contact a Realtor.  A Realtor can do an extensive search of homes similar to yours that have are currently for sale, have sold or have expired.  This will give you an accurate idea of what your home should be listed to compete with other homes that are similar. 

Once you have decided to use a Realtor it is important to pick a Realtor that you feel comfortable with.  Selling your home can be very stressful and ensuring you have a Realtor you can trust and communicate with is important.  Having a Realtor you trust will help tremendously through the entire home selling process, from negotiating to managing the paperwork, and closing.
