AI summary

Deciding between a private sale and using an agent involves key trade-offs. While selling privately can save on commission, it's a major time commitment and you carry all the marketing, negotiation, and legal risk.

A professional agent provides market knowledge, marketing expertise with digital tools, and crucial legal guidance. Their skills can secure a higher sale price that offsets their fee, ultimately saving you significant time and reducing stress during the process.
