SELLING A HOME:

The agent will meet with the sellers and evaluate the home and property. He/she will do a market analysis to figure out the best price to list the house based on the neighborhood and comparable sales. The agent may make suggestions for repairs or improvements that can help make the home more attractive to buyers. The agent may present a marketing plan that indicates where the home will be advertised. Follow-up feedback can be offered, which may include information the agent receives by making calls to people who viewed the home or by tracking how many potential buyers viewed the home listing.

Those entering the real estate realm may have misconceptions about what's involved. Even experienced home buyers/sellers may have trouble navigating through all the new rules and regulations. Interview the agent and be familiar with his/her level of experience and knowledge in real estate.

Individuals buying or selling a home can certainly do it by themselves, but real estate agents have the knowledge and provide assistance through the myriad steps of the process, helping you to save time and money in the long run.
