Most sellers have real estate agents handle the sale of their property because there are so many forms, state compliances, etc. that have to be met; and, the average seller just does not want to mess with all of the things required themselves. It has been proven statistically that sellers who use agents average a better selling price for their property. A good agent generally pays for themselves. Exposure is paramount, especially in a market as difficult as today’s market. A good real estate agent has the contacts and finances to expose their listed properties to the max.

Also, many sellers just don’t like to negotiate and a good agent is very adept at negotiating for the benefit of their client. A wonderful bond can take place between the seller and their agent, creating a level of trust that is necessary to bring the offer through to a successful closing.
