Why to Hire a Realtor® when Selling a Home.

Selling a home is a significant undertaking, and it can be stressful for a homeowner who is unfamiliar with the process. Hiring a realtor® to help guide sellers through the process – from listing a home to closing a sale – is often a wise decision for anyone looking to get their house sold efficiently and for top dollar.

Here are a few important reasons why it’s important to hire a realtor® when selling a home.

The first advantage of hiring a realtor® is their knowledge of the market and expertise dealing specifically with real estate. Properties can come with a variety of different implications, especially when comparing commercial and residential properties, and realtors® understand the nuances that come with these distinctions. They can ensure that all paperwork is filed correctly and keep sellers from signing contracts that include hidden or confusing clauses which could adversely affect a sale.

In addition to the knowledge of realtors®, they also have experience in pricing and marketing a property. Market values are typically determined by comparing recently sold homes in the area and running neighborhood data analytics. An experienced realtor® can accurately assess the value of a property, which is important because setting too high or too low of an asking price can lead to the home not garnering enough serious interest or customers not making offers due to sticker shock.

Furthermore, realtors® also use their knowledge of the market to craft effective marketing campaigns for a property. Effective marketing techniques include everything from how the property is listed to how it is advertised and even how it is presented to potential buyers.

Lastly, realtors® have an extensive network of service providers to satisfy any transaction need that may come up. Typical examples include: attorneys, home inspectors, lenders, specially inspectors like sewer, roofing, ext and can source additional and more nuanced professionals, when necessary. Often, an experienced realtor®, is acting as the connecting node between the various parties who need to be involved to successfully complete a transaction.

These are just a few of the important reasons why it’s important to hire a realtor® when selling a home. With the extra expertise, industry connections, and expansive knowledge of the market, a realtor® is the best resource for getting a property sold quickly and for the highest possible price.
