Hot Market, Sell on Your Own
In this or any other market the only advantage you receive from a realtor is exposure through MLS. Since this market is so seller advantaged, the only thing you need is a
good closing attorney or Title Company. You do the advertising and the showing and leave the legal issues to the attorney or title company. It is amazing how much money you will save doing it yourself.
The real estate agent has only one interest in mind, making a sale and their commission. They will get you to sell even if it means you get less for your home. Their allegiance is to their bank account, not yours.
As the market goes, you are beginning to see discount real estate brokers entering the market. As with automobiles, soon much of the real estate market will be the same, online sales. In most cases real estate agents will be going by the wayside. They claim personal service, but is it worth 7% of the sale price? Personally, I don't think so.
