But now, you're starting to get worried, maybe you've got deadlines to meet and you decide to accept this offer. Maybe there was another home you would have preferred to purchase that was lost in the wait, as well as other opportunities lost. That's what you lost. The waiting game often costs more than it reaps. Even if it's the only one that's come along.
Most sellers prefer to rely on the advice of a professional.
Sure, there's always a chance that a better offer could come along - eventually. But, it might be a better bet that you can expect worse ones. Only solid experience can tell you when you should seriously consider accepting an offer. When it comes to selling a home, those who used a real estate professional received more for their money compared to those who did not. There is a significant monetary difference between a professionally assisted and privately handled home sale.
