No waiting for your tax refund to recover commissions you would pay to an agent. You want to deal with the buyers yourself. You have full controll of all facets of the transaction, like deciding when you will show your house, the price of the house, negotiations with the buyer etc. But you have to commit yourself to being in control of every detail of selling your house. Reasons to Use an Agent You need a professional's advice.
Nobody knows the real estate market better than someone who has trained for it.
You are just too busy to sell on your own. If you do not have the necessary time to dedicate to the sale of your house, you can delegate the responsibilities to a real estate agent, you can rest assured that they will take care of all the small details on your behalf. An agent can provide you with valuable insight into the transaction and you may rely on them to conduct negotiations on your behalf and protect your interests. Selling Requirements Commitment , commitment , commitment. Remember that all the energy required to sell your house will be on your shoulders, not a real estate agent.
