Hiring a real estate agent is better than for sale by owner in at least three ways! The money talks right away with the statistic that on average homes listed by a realtor sell $40,000 higher than listed by an owner. Other numerical statistics show that homes listed by an agent sell for an average of $215k whereas for sale by owner sell for an average of $174,900.
If strictly finances doesn't make this decision for you - than what about the difference between days on market? Realtors sell for an average of 19 days faster than the 69 days on average it takes an owner to sell.
All of these numbers clearly point to hiring an agent but if the numbers don't sell you - the emotional aspect should seal the deal. Over 70% of sellers said that they experienced major struggles or stressors during the selling process. This isn't necessary! Agents have all of the resources and training to guide clients through selling a home and lessen any stressors! Agents also handle most of the issues that come up so clients don't have to.
We understand the initial thought of doing it all for yourself - but why take on even more hassle during an already stressful time? Hire an agent today!
