So you're ready to sell your home and find a new one. You have a lot of decisions and preparations to make. One of the most important ones is choosing the right real estate agent who will work with your best interest in mind. Above all, you'll want a knowledgeable agent who knows the market and has the best resources available to him or her.
Some people choose to sell and buy a home on their own.
You may wonder what the benefits are of working with an agent as compared to doing it yourself. You house hunt on your own time and with limited resources, you do your own research on market conditions and housing types available. The agent analyzes the market for you, gives educated information and leverages essential tools. You make your own arrangements with listing agents or sellers to see homes for sale. The agent makes appointments to view homes you may like and accompanies you on your visit.
