Deciding whether to sell your house privately or use a real estate agent involves key trade-offs. While selling privately can save on agent fees, it requires a significant time commitment and you bear all the legal and negotiation risks.
A good agent provides crucial expertise, including:
- Market knowledge to navigate changing conditions
- Marketing skills using digital and social media
- Legal and compliance guidance
An agent's experience can often secure a higher sale price, potentially covering their own commission.
